Discussion

A narrow slot cut through the top of Roman ditch 011CD20017. Fill 011CD05386 contained visible packing stones (see Chalk blocks within fill 011CD05386 ) of angular chalk. No chalk blocks were present in the slot further to the south (011CD05631) although the slot was clearly defined due to the comparatively stony fill. A middle Saxon bone handle was recovered from fill 011CD05630 but it is unclear whether the feature is of that date.
