Discussion
The ditch cut through the layer of rubble (012AG00037),
and although only a short segment was excavated, produced a large quantity
of late Roman material culture. The primary fill was 012AG00043,
a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with 20% chalk inclusions.
The late Roman coin was from this primary fill. The secondary fill (012AG00040)
was a darker (Munsell 10YR 3/2) sandy clay loam, with much charcoal flecking.
It contained 10% chalk inclusions, generally smaller than 5cm in diameter.
