Issued to

Interpretation
-
- Bank deposit associated with the formation of ditch [10023]. Deposit can also been seen to be slumping into the ditch, later excavation of (10004) highlighted this, as the actual cut of the ditch was hidden by this slumping deposit. Formation of this bank is primarily up-cast from the creation of the ditch. Evidence of the maintenance of this bank can be seen as the top of this deposit has a high density of artefacts ranging from medieval to post-medieval in date.
