Description: | Clay dump |
Notes: | A tip of dirty yellow/orange clay with crushed and broken tile within it. c.1m wide running NE-SW of the north western edge of (3313). Clear horizon with clay (3313) however (4101) also physically covered the layer below (3313) and this boundary was more difficult to ascertain and some finds from this earlier layer may have been allocated to (4101) -including possible small find SF2949. Probably not a fill of a drain but a secondary dumping of construction material on top of (3313) where (3313) is sinking into [4667], an underlying linear hollow - possible ditch. Strat below (3994) and strat above (3313). Completely removed in 2003. Plan no: 3.66, 4.15, 9.75 Sample no: 647 Accuracy rating: 4.5 Spot Date: late 1st - mid 2nd century AD |
