Full Description
A large ditch, 4m wide and 1.6-1.8m deep, ran north-south across the site. The lower 60cm was silted with sands and gravels but the upper metre, especially at the south end, included a thick layer of rubbish (oyster shell, animal bone, pottery, charcoal, metal objects, the single sceatta (0001/7402N), etc). Below this it was difficult to establish the precise base of the ditch, at one point, as a disturbance of unknown depth was found, (S1).
