Short Description:
Furrow
Issued to
Ben Swain | 09/09/2020
1195

Interpretation

    • Fill at the base of a medieval furrow. 2 Anglo Saxon coins were found just outside the furrow, where the ridge would have been, indicating the plough had cut into earlier possibly Anglo Saxon deposits.

    • Originally interpreted as the base of the furrow, upon further excavation it became clear that this was the same as furrow fill 2020
