Discussion

This spit was the first removed over the area after the gully complex was noted (prior to this the spits were all part of the buried soil layer 002CA00080). In all, 10 spits were removed (see matrix diagram above) to try to define the sequence of gullies, but only the outer two gullies (eastern 002CA01016 and western 002CA01018) were ever fully defined, with the central area (002CA01128) a mass of intercutting gullies. The fill was a medium textured sandy silt (Munsell 10YR 3/6). The concentration of finds was slightly less than that of the outer two gullies, but higher than that from the surrounding area. Roughly equal quantities of Roman and Anglian pottery were recovered. Cattle bones predominate in the identifiable animal bones recovered.
