Discussion

This was the third spit (beneath spit 011AD00059 and equal to the material in spit 011AD00060) of a silty clay layer (Munsell 10YR 4/1), excavated across the waterlogged area to the west of the spring pool. The Munsell colour varies considerably for this layer, because although it exhibits a blueish-green tinge when exposed, it oxidises within half an hour to a much browner colour. At this level, no waterlogged material was recovered, although water is now beginning to seep to the surface. Iron panning was also visible. Finds included a winkle shell and a fragment of fired clay.
