Discussion

This was a narrow rectangular spit, (across a segment of ditches 012AD07212 and 012AD07210), excavated to try to define the discrete edges of the ditches.

Of the material culture recovered, all of the pottery was of a later Roman date (80 sherds), together with an oyster shell, which almost certainly derives from the oyster shell deposit 012AD00396. The majority of animal bone recovered was cattle (52%), followed by sheep/goat (33%). Also represented were pig (10%) and horse (5%).
