Full Description

An east-west aligned ditch was exposed, situated towards the northern end of the trench, 0.98m wide and 0.46m deep with steep sides descending to a concave base. Three deposits were exposed within this feature, being the earliest and interpreted as a slumped deposit of redeposited natural on the ditches northern edge. This was covered by 0.32m of mid orange-brown clay silt and sealed by 0.12m of dark brown-grey clay silt with rooting being evident throughout.

May be associated with features found in another trench, perhaps forming another perpendicular boundary.
