PIT

Discussion

Pit cutting the inner enclosure ditch (011AB10005). The pit was cut into sand and chalk gravel, with an irregular base. The fill was a loamy sand (Munsell 10/YR/34), with very few red chalk inclusions. Pea grit was noted as occurring near the base. A number of objects from the pit fill were erroneously recorded under the ditch fill 011AB00043, including a bone comb fragment. Pottery and non-local stone were also found.
