Short Description:
Basal fill of ditch
Issued to
Olivia Carrington | 23/09/2023

Interpretation

    • Initial basal silting fill of ditch 2528 F707 (original cut). It is likely this material formed quite quickly after the ditch's original construction - perhaps a slipping in of some of the bank material created from the digging out of the ditch. One piece of animal bone was recovered from this fill and has been taken as a C14 sample to date the construction of the ditch.
