Discussion

A grave located in the south of area 11AE. Truncated, possibly by machine during the stripping of the area, and disturbed by animal burrowing. The grave contained the skeleton of an young adult (the epiphyses were not yet fully fused) aligned west-north-west and in the flexed position, and the skull facing east. The arms were folded over the stomach and the right hand lay on top of the left. A green cess stain was noted under the pelvis. The grave fill was a loamy sand (Munsell 10/YR/43) and contained no objects, although some of the human bones were also treated as individual finds.
