002CC01866

Ditch 

 

Phasing

Discussion

One of four master numbers issued to enclosure ditches in the north of area 2CC. This ditch runs N/S then turns a ninety degree bend to head E. A probable pit (002CC01873) on the bend was excavated as part of the ditch. The intersection between this and E/W ditch 002CC00271 showed that this ditch was a later feature. This is supported by material evidence as 002CC01866 contained Early Saxon pottery and 002CC00271 contained Roman pottery.
