Discussion

After the initial machine clearance (011AE00001), this was the first spit over the buried soil and hillwash in the south-eastern part of 11AE (adjacent to 011AE00128 to the north). Very little feature definition was obtained, and further spits were removed before the series of north-south ditches first became visible. However, the finds indicated a late Roman and Anglian date (including a fragment of an Anglian glass vessel) for the underlying features. Only 10 identifiable animal bones were recovered, one of which was part of a red deer antler.
