Full Description

A linear feature was seen along the E side of trench 02, possibly continuing S but certainly turning / branching W along the S side of the trench, where it was 0.9 - 1.1m wide and 0.3m deep. Basal fill consisted of large pieces of shattered limestone suggesting deliberate backfilling. Three pottery sherds (including two of Stamford Ware) came from the feature. (1)
