Discussion

This was the third and final cleaning spit after the machining of the second trench across area 12AG. Only a 1 metre wide shovel-scraped section along the northern edge of the trench was excavated. It was hoped that the continuation of narrow ?timber slots noted in the initial trench to the south would be detected, but no features were defined. The material removed was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3) and lay beneath a darker layer of hillwash material (012AG00059). There were no finds and no further details were recorded.
