Discussion

This was the initial cleaning spit across the south-western quadrant of the loamy buried soil 002CA0080. Its unusual triangular shape was dictated by the linear features to the east and west. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/4). Finds included a Roman penannular copper alloy brooch of Fowler type A(I). Eight Anglian sherds were found, along with Roman (7) and Medieval (5) sherds. Some clustering of the finds is noted in the vicinity of Grubenhaus 002CA00784. Cattle bones (as was the case in almost every spit across this buried soil) are again in the majority (76%).
