Wall Footing

Discussion

A short segment of wall footing, oriented north-south, located 107cm from the south-east corner of the late Roman structure (012AF07215). The footing did not extend southwards across the whole trench, stopping some 30cm short of the clay-lined pit (012AF00020). A shallow foundation (012AF00016) had been dug out, into which the chalk rubble footing was then placed. The soil matrix of the footing was given the number 012AF00022, and contained six sherds of late Roman pottery, and 3 fragments of tile, one of which bore an imprint from the paw of a small dog.
