Discussion

This was an area of buried soil, which became visible in this area by the removal of a number of spits. It was a dark sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 7.5YR 3/2), with around 5% chalk inclusions. This buried soil was also visible in other places in area 11CD, where features were cut down to it, although this was the area where it was most easily seen. The deposit was sealed by spit 011CD05443, and was cut by east-west aligned enclosure ditches 011CD07107, 011CD07108 and 011CD7110, as well as north-south aligned slots 011CD05469 and 011CD05485. It remained unexcavated, thus the only find was a cattle skull fragment which lay on the surface of the deposit.
