Slot

Phasing

The find of a single Anglian sherd places the filling of this feature in the Anglian period. No stratigraphic relationships with the surrounding ditches were established, as all of the fills were very similar in character. The slot was revealed by the removal of spit 012AD05104.

Discussion

This short, linear slot was one of a sequence in the vicinity, although stratigraphic relationships were difficult to determine in this part of the site (the sections show no obvious cutting relationships). The fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR3/3 to 10YR 4/3), with 10% chalk inclusions. Charcoal but no daub flecks were noted. Parts of a dog skeleton (mandible and leg) were recovered, although the whole animal was not present.

The feature was cut into hillwash and sand & gravel, with a shallow V-shaped profile.
