Discussion

This was the 3rd of the spits which were part of the third removal (with 002CA00095 and 002CA00096) of material across the the loamy buried soil 002CA00080. The material removed was a loamy sand (Munsell colour 10YR 4/4). In this case the density of finds is slightly lower than in the previous spits. Anglian pottery was found (5 sherds), although Medieval (10) and Roman (8) sherds were also present. Once again, cattle bones represent the majority (69%) of animal bones. Further spits of this material were removed before a sequence of gullies (002CA01016, 002CA01018 and 002CA01128) was finally revealed below.
