Discussion

This was a relatively short slot, with the same alignment as the group of slots 012AD05126 to the east, and as ditches 012AD05026 and the southern part of  012AD08341 to the west. Its single fill was a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 15% chalk inclusions.

Where it was not cutting through the earlier quarry pits, the slot was cut into fragmented chalk natural, with a rough U-shaped profile.
