Oxfordshire interest because it seemed to define the highest area of the hilltop as established by topographic survey in 1996. Excavation revealed several pits and postholes but nothing corresponding to the possible linear feature which was a very weak anomaly and could have been an artefact of the geophysics. The pottery from this trench included some Romano-British sherds (possibly early), and some stamped middle to late Iron Age types. Trench 5 A trench measuring 10 x 10 m was located on a pair of very distinctive circular anomalies identified by the AML as being different to those created by storage pits. Excavation revealed two solution pipes in the chalk bedrock filled with clay with flints, similar to those found in previous years at White Horse Hill and in Trench 3 at Segsbury (Lock and Gosden 1997b; 73). One point of interest about Trench 5 was the lack of features within it, especially compared to the density within Trenches 1,4 and 2. This could represent zoning within the hillfort and suggest that the differences shown within the geophysics are real rather than being a product of overlying deposits masking features in the northern third of the interior. C1 Trench 6 Located to investigate a short linear anomaly curving around the northern side of the eastern entrance, Trench 6 measured 10 x 5 m, Fig 11. Excavation revealed the rounded terminus of a flat bottomed, steep sided ditch [6002] which appeared to be a hornwork extending from the main ditch, presumably with a corresponding extension to the rampart which has now disappeared. The ditch was very different in profile from the main ditch (compare Fig 12 and 15), being less than a metre deep with a wide flat bottom, giving the appearance of being unfinished. Romano-British pottery was present in the upper fill [6003] and Iron Age material in the lower levels and an apparent re-cut [6006 and 6007], suggesting that the ditch was dug, partly filled and then re-cut during the occupation of the hillfort. Further visual inspection of the eastern entrance shows considerable topographic evidence for the rampart continuing across the entrance so as to block it. The apparent starting and then abandonment of this enhancement of the original eastern entrance by the addition of a curving hornwork could be associated with the blocking of the entrance. Fig 12. Segsbury Camp. Section across the eastern entrance hornwork ditch. Two gullies were also located within Trench 6, Fig 11. Context [6009], a V-shaped gully tightly packed with clean chalk rubble was either contemporary with or pre-dated the large ditch. It also pre-dated the gully, [6004], running approximately at right angles to it, which contained the articulated skull, backbone and shoulder blades of a cow placed within its fill. Based on differential vegetation growth within the surrounding field, it would appear this gully runs for a considerable distance eastwards from the trench and the hillfort's eastern entrance. 58
