Discussion

This was the second of two spits (beneath 012AD00669) to be to be trowelled back in this area, in an attempt to define the anomalies clearly visible Click here to see a geophysical plot of the area  in the geophysical survey data. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3). No daub or charcoal flecking were noted. In the event, neither spit defined these features, indicating that they were all in an earlier phase of the settlement occupation. No animal bones were found.
