Discussion

This was the initial clean over the area to the east of the stream channel. The depth removed varied considerably due to differential stripping, with some areas down to gravel and others still at the base of the modern ploughsoil. However, most of the material was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/4), and could be attributed to the more stoney of the buried soils (002CA00081), which was sealed to the north by the more loamy buried soil (002CA00080). Finds included a late Roman coin (364-378).
