Discussion

This was a small rectangular spit, excavated in order to define the line of the north-south aligned ditches identified in the geophysical survey data.

Of the material culture recovered, the majority of the pottery was of a later Roman date (46 sherds), together with seven oyster shells. Three Anglian sherds were recovered. Other finds of interest included an ?Anglian glass bead, as well as a bone comb fragment. The majority of animal bones recovered were sheep/goat (48%), followed by cattle (38%) and then pig with 7%.
