Slot

Phasing

The only diagnostic material (25 pot sherds) recovered from this feature was exclusively later Roman in date. However, 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 012AD05662, which contained 2 Anglian sherds.

Discussion

The single fill was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3) with 10% chalk inclusions.  Occasional daub and charcoal were noted. Unusually, a much higher density (almost 9:1) of objects as opposed to animal bones was recovered from this feature.

The slot was cut into hillwash, with a bowl-shaped profile. Before excavation, it was clearly seen to be cut by post hole 012AD05734 (part of master 012AD07079). The relatiionship with master 012AD07080 was not established, as the slot passed cleanly between two of the post holes of this feature. The southern terminal of the slot was not excavated, as this line marked the southern edge of the area excavated in 1995.
