Interpretation
-
- Main silting up event of recut ditch 2505 F707. This material has formed in the centre of the ditch and seems relatively homogenous throughout, consisting of an orangey silty clay. This context is the largest silting event in the feature and perhaps represents a phase of the ditch where it is being left to silt up, suggesting a lack of maintenance and therefore perhaps the period where it begins to fall out of use as a defensive enclosure ditch.
