Discussion

This was one of seven gridded spits (with 002CB00012, 002CB00021, 002CB00024, 002CB00037, 002CB00038 and 002CB00040), excavated (by trowel in 1986) to clean the buried soils on the southern edge of the gravel fan. The material removed was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with small, abraded chalk inclusions. A number of post holes (not in any apparent structural formation) were defined. Finds included an Anglian copper alloy pin and a blue annular glass bead (type A1a).
