Description

This was the only test pit where no structural evidence was found, this despite being located on the edge of another prominent earthwork lying in the south-western corner of the enclosure. Despite this a further five sherds of Potterspury Ware were recovered, providing further corroborative evidence for the date of the enclosure and its structure (B1).
