Layer

Phasing

Although containing a majority of Roman sherds (18), the finds of a single Anglian sherd together with Niedermendig lava and a number of whetstones indicate an Anglian date for the formation of this layer.

Discussion

After the removal of spit 012AD08070, a layer of slightly darker (Munsell colour 10YR3/3 to 10YR 4/3) material (some 6m by 3.5m in size) was visible. The layer was a sandy loam with 4% chalk inclusions. There was no charcoal or daub flecking evident.

The layer sealed a number of post holes (012AD01001) and a slot (012AD08073).
