Full Description

F104 was a roughly E-W aligned cut feature extending east from the western site boundary for about 11m. The feature had shallow concave sides and a slightly concave base, with a depth of 0.15m and was filled with a light greyish-brown friable sandy silt containing sparse charcoal flecks. No dating evidence was recovered from the fill. It is interpreted as a drainage gully or truncated field boundary ditch. (1)
