Discussion

This was a rectangular spit, located to the west of spits 012AD00596 and 012AD00597. excavated in order to define the features in the centre of the large southern enclosure. In the event, a number of post holes, some short slots and the terminus of enclosure 012AD07219 were defined.

Of the material culture recovered, the majority of the pottery was of a later Roman date (67 sherds), together with three oyster shells. Three Anglian sherds were recovered. Other finds of interest included a red sandstone pin sharpener. The majority of animal bones recovered were cattle (56%), followed by sheep/goat (32%).
