Discussion

This was a layer of sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), which was sealed by a layer of hillwash (removed as spit 012AF00124). Finds included a Roman coin (AD 332-333 follis of Constantine I), and ninety-nine late Roman pot sherds. A single possible Anglian sherd was also found. Also of note were the finds of thirteen fragments of calcite, mostly in the southern half. The only animal bone recovered was a single, (chewed) cattle skull fragment. This area was excavated in order to ascertain whether the almost square geophysical anomaly (in dark orange on the plot above) related to a structure of some type. This was not proven, as work in this area had to stop in order to complete the excavation of the main Anglian settlement component to the north.
