Discussion

An east-west aligned slot, excavated in two segments. The fill was a sandy clay loam, slightly darker (Munsell 10YR 4/2) than most of the fills of the other features in the immediate area. The majority of the finds were recovered from the western half. The animal bones were a mixture of cattle, sheep/goat, horse and dog. One sheep bone showed butchery evidence, with both a dog and a horse bone being chewed.
