Interpretation
-
- Sandy clay material on eastern edge of ditch F707. It is likely that this material has been heavily truncated by recut 2505 and its original size and profile has been lost. However, the surviving material seems sandier and slightly looser than the heavily compacted clay layers 2566 and 2575 on the western edge. This suggests the possibility of a silting event on the eastern edge of the ditch, rather than a slumping of redeposited natural bank material.
