Discussion

This was the removal of the remaining machine ridges (under 002CA00044), from an area encompassing the stream channel deposits. The material removed varied from a sandy clay loam to a silty clay loam (Munsell colour generally 10YR 3/3). The finds indicated a wide date range (pot sherds from the Neolithic to the Medieval periods, although the majority were clustered around the Iron Age , Romano-British and Anglian periods). Very few (3) animal bones were found.
