- General demolition spread in north east corner of trench. It covered most of this area but was most concentrated over the line of the ditch. It was cleaned several times and only excavated fully in the three slots that were dropped in this area and was seen as a relatively thin c.0.06m capping layer. It contained quite a high density of finds, mostly pottery and animal bone. In all slots it was shown to be sitting on top of a softer lower fill which leveled off the ditch and sat on top of the 'T' wall in NE corner.
