Short Description:
Uppermost fill of ditch [2311] running NW-SE into Eastern bulk of trench 2 west within slot against eastern baulk
Issued to
Clive Marshall | 12/09/2021
Interpretation
-
- Likely silting fill of a linear ditch. Very compacted and predominantly clay very similar to the material into which it is cut - this could indicate backfilling not long after being dug - perhaps a relatively short lived feature? Being cut by NE-SW aligned graves, this represents probably the earliest feature on site as of the 2021 season

- Upon further excavation in the 2022 season, it was revealed that this fill is the uppermost of a series of fills, the full depth and sequence of which has not yet been excavated with the base and eastern edge of the ditch remaining elusive.
