Discussion

This was an irregularly shaped spit, excavated in order to define the termini of a number of ditches (012AD00736, 012AD00815, 012AD00817, 012AD00831, 012AD00833, 012AD00918 and 012AD00920. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell 10YR 4/2) with 5% chalk inclusions. Both daub and chaecoal flecking was noted.
