Group of four ?natural features

Discussion

This was a group of four natural features situated to the west of post hole structure 011AA07061. None of these features contained finds. 011AA00242 was an elongated, irregularly shaped feature, much like 011AA00288, filled with a fine sandy loam (Munsell 10/YR/44). 011AA00244 was a smaller, sub-rectangular feature also filled with a fine sandy loam (although Munsell darker at 10/YR/34). 011AA00257 was an irregularly shaped feature, and 011AA00281 was round, both filled with fine sandy loam (Munsell 10/YR/34). It is likely that all of these features are animal burrows.
