Slot

Phasing

The only diagnostic material recovered were eight later Roman pot sherds, as well as a residual flint scraper. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD00590, the slot had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

The slot contained a single fill, a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3 to 10YR 3/4), with 20% chalk inclusions. Charcoal flecking was present (1 sample taken), but no daub flecking. The relationship with the north-south aligned enclosure ditch to the west (012AD07222), was not established.

The slot was cut into chalk in the west and into hillwash in the east, with a U-shaped profile. No section was drawn.
