Discussion

This was the the third of five spits (with 002CA00770, 002CA00771, 002CA00773 and 002CA00774) removing the last remaining layers of the loamy buried soil 002CA00080, at the beginning of the 1988 excavation season. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/6). Finds included a melted lead  fragment. Pottery included twenty Romano-British sherds, twenty-seven Anglian sherds and three Medieval sherds. In common with almost every spit taken across the buried soil deposit 002CA00080, cattle bones again represented the most numerous animal species (63%). The spit finally defined a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128), although they were never very clearly visible on the ground.
