Ditch

Discussion

Following the removal of spit 012AF00039, the shallow remains of a ditch were observed, located in the far east of trench 12AF. It had been slightly truncated by the initial machine clearance, but the full depth was seen in section (only 15cm maximum). The ditch fill contained 9 sherds of late Roman pottery, and no animal bones.
