Discussion

The spit was over the northern limit of the buried soil in this area. No features were defined by the removal of the spit, although machine trenching (011AE00422 and 011AE00423) later revealed a prehistoric pit pair. The only Roman coin was found in this spit, only 6 metres to the north-west of the only other coin found in the area, a Middle-Saxon silver sceatta.
