Discussion

This was a rectangular spit (under spit 012AC00002), to define the individual ditches in the sequence at the north-western corner of area 12AC. The material removed was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3). A number of features were defined, including ditches 012AC00062, 012AC00064 and 012AC00066, as well as slot 012AC00137. The only object found was a late Roman pot sherd, although a number of animal bones were recovered from the southernmost (012AC00062 and 012AC00064) ditch segments.
