012AF00026, 012AF00021 and 012AF00015

Discrete area of finds

Discussion

These numbers were issued to the deposits located just outside (to the east) of the south-east corner of the late Roman structure (012AF07215). A deposit of redeposited natural (012AF00015) chalk gravel was found just to the east of the structure. It contained six late Roman sherds. Just to the north of the redeposited material was a slightly darker (Munsell 10YR4/3) layer (012AF00021), located between wall footing 012AF00004 and wall footing 012AF00003. The deposit contained 2 fragments of fired clay (?tile) and 17 sherds of late (4th century) Roman pot. From the beginning it was obvious that within this deposit was a discrete accumulation of finds (given number 012AF00026), just to the west of wall footing 012AF00003. Although a cut feature was never identified, there is little doubt that this was a deliberate deposit, containing 6 tile fragments, 8 sherds of late Roman pottery, and 2 sheep mandibles.
