Discussion

The primary fill (012AD08336) was a redeposited natural light sandy gravel (Munsell colour 10YR 5/4) with no daub or charcoal flecking. No finds were recovered from this layer. The section indicates that this layer was in fact a number of separate events, with at least 2 much higher concentrations of chalk fragments being deposited. The secondary fill (012AD08334), was a dark (Munsell 10YR 3/3) sandy loam, which appeared to have a slightly reddish tinge. Slight charcoal flecking was noted, although the only finds were a fragment of stone and a cattle mandible. Laying above this was layer 012AD08333, a dark (Munsell 10YR 3/2) ashy layer, with daub and charcoal flecking. Finds included a fragment of slag, red sandstone and two Romano-British sherds. Layer 012AD08335 sealed 012AD08333, and was a sandy loam (Munsell 10YR 3/3) with a very slight red tinge noted. Daub flecking was present, but no charcoal flecks were noted. The layer contained two Romano-British sherds.

Sealing all of the other layers was 012AD08320, a lighter (Munsell 10YR 4/3) sandy loam, with 15% chalk inclusions. This layer contained the majority of the material culture, and it was from this fill that the Anglian material was recovered.
