Slot

Phasing

This is one of three slots (with 012AD05812 and 012AD5796) which have a slightly different alignment Click here to see a colour coded plan of the different alignments of features to all of the other slots in the vicinity. Although never seen on the ground during the excavation phase, the geophysical evidence Click here to see the geophysical data for this area  indicates that this is part of the same feature as 012AD05736. This slot was also one of only two (with 012AD05786) to contain any Anglian material culture (2 sherds).

Discussion

The only fill was a very dark (Munsell colour 10YR 2/2) sandy clay loam, with between 5-10% chalk inclusions. The fill was much darker than that contained by any of the other features in the immediate area. Daub and charcoal flecking was noted (1 daub sample collected).

The slot was cut into hillwash, with a wide-V profile. It shallowed considerably as it neared its southern terminal.
