Discussion

A short, linear slot which was the latest event in its immediate vicinity. It may be connected with a number of similar slots Plan of the later slots  which apparently sub-divide the larger enclosure. The full was a medium loamy sand (Munsell 10YR 4/4) with 5% chalk inclusions. The finds included a broken quern fragment and some red sandstone. The slot was located on the south-western corner of the group of post holes (012AD07087), and may have shared a stuctural function with them.

The slot was cut into sand and gravel with a U profile
