Discussion

Three layers of material were noted after the excavation of spits 012AD05104 and 012AD05105. Layer 012AD05137 was a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with a high chalk inclusion rate. Layer 012AD05138 to the north was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with a lower chalk inclusion rate. In the east, layer 012AD05216 was a loamy sand (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3).

The ditch 012AD08341 contained a fill virtually indistinguishable from the material in the layers, and although it appears likely that it cut them, this was not seen during the excavation phase.
