Slot

Phasing

Although the majority (18) of pot sherds recovered were later Romano-British, two finds of Anglian pottery were also found. It was partially sealed by layer 012AD08083. It had no other direct stratigraphic relationships, although it could not have existed at the same time as post hole structure 012AD01001.

Discussion

This was a short, NNW-SSE aligned slot, one of a number within the enclosure area, although this was the widest of the group. For its size, it contained a high density of finds. The fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3) with 5% chalk inclusions (0.5-1.5cm in diameter).

The slot was cut into hillwas, with a U profile. Slight widening in two places may indicate collapse of the sides before infilling.
