012AD00067
Slot
Phasing
The slot has been assigned an Anglian phase due to the finds of a composite
bone comb fragment and a sherd of pottery (of Anglian form, but with a
Romano-British fabric).

Discussion
This short north-south oriented slot is apparently part of a small
enclosure (or pen?) with similar east-west aligned slot 012AD00065.
While containing a higher density of animal bones (63 as opposed to 18),
the similar proportions of sheep/goat, cattle and pig species (47%,
42% and 10% respectively) also indicate a similar date for the infilling
of the slots.
Two fills were noted in the southern half of the slot, the primary fill
(012AD00694)
being a darker (Munsell 10YR 4/2) sandy loam with up to 20% chalk inclusions.
No daub or charcoal flecking was noted, and relatively few finds were from
this fill. It seems likely that this primary fill was a natural colluvial
event. If this is the case, then the slot was redefined before the secondary
filling (012AD00066)
took place. This was a slightly lighter (Munsell 10YR 4/3) sandy clay loam,
with around 10% chalk inclusions. Almost all of the material culture was
recovered from the secondary fill. No indication of the primary fill was
noted in the northern half of the slot.
The slot was cut into white chalk, with a regular U-profile.
