Short Description:
Cut of NE-SW ditch at southern end of trench 6.
Issued to
Henry Callender | 13/01/2020
2591

Interpretation

    • Cut of large NE - SW ditch, with single fill (6173), likely roman from BM recovered from fill. Truncates a possible ring ditch to the south, which is likely Iron Age in date however dating of the pottery can confirm this.

    • Ditch continues in to trench 4, it is likely a field boundary.
