Full Record for Context Number 3708
| Context Number: | 3708 |
| Description: | Robber trench |
| Notes: | This robber trench was partly excavated in 2001. It was shown in 2002 to be far more extensive.The robber trench robbed part of walls 1158, 2022, 4099 however it left parts of the lowest courses. 1160 was probably robbed at the same time but the relationship is lost due to Victorian activity. The start of the robbing activity of 1158, 4099 and also 1160 seems to occur at the same point - ~2m out from wall 2022. There is also evidence for a possible well/pit which is evident by subsidence seen in area of robbing for 2022. Part of wall still remains.
