Discussion

Two spits (012AD05480 and 012AD05485 were removed from this area before it became plain that a sequence of pits and a ditch were present. This pit was sealed by 012AD05480, and the fill was a darker (Munsell colour 10YR 2/1) silty clay loam, with much charcoal (2 samples taken) and some burnt daub. There were 10% chalk inclusions. The only diagnostic finds were later Roman pot sherds.  Only a single animal bone (sheep/goat) was recovered.

The pit was cut into fragmented angular chalk, with a U-shaped profile.
