Discussion

A curvilinear slot in the north of area 11CD. Although believed to be a single feature during excavation, the slot was not visible from the excavated section 011CD05383 to the east curvilinear part excavated as context 011CD05379 and the two may be unrelated. The east/west aligned slot is almost certainly of Roman date. During excavation, it was thought slot 011CD05742 was a continuation of the northern side. This is unlikely as, although on the same alignment, slot 011CD05742 cuts through ditch 011CD05365 whereas the ditch cuts through the south segment (011CD05053). This slot would appear to be an early feature as it was also cut by enclosure ditch 011CD20017 and slots 011CD07092, 011CD05063 and 011CD05381.

Also included with this Master number are the finds from context 011CD05101, originally thought to be a pit, but further definition proving it to be part of  two features (this slot and ditch 011CD05365). It is associated with this Master as when the finds are plotted, they all appear to fall within the range of this slot.
