Discussion

A pit cut by the enclosure ditch 011AB10005. The pit was cut into loamy sand, as well as sand and chalk gravel. The fill was a dark sandy loam (Munsell 10/YR/22), with less than 10% chalk inclusions. Only 5 objects and 14 animal bones were recovered from the pit, which, along with the irregular base of the feature, indicate that this was a quarry pit, one of a number in this area.
