Full Description

Naturally accumulated sand lined the northern edge of the ditch. A second deposit, naturally accumulated yellow-brown sand, filled the rest of the ditch. A single sherd of early-middle Saxon pottery was recovered along with pieces of animal bone. A further sherd of early-middle Saxon pottery was also recovered from the subsoil.
