Pit
Phasing
No diagnostic material culture was recovered from this feature. Apart from
being sealed by spit 012AB00001, the pit
had no other stratigraphic relationships. It appears to align with the
terminus of ditch 012AB00703, but this
feature contained no material culture.
Discussion
This small pit contained the partial articulated skeleton of a young cow.
The single fill was a silty clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with 10%
chalk inclusions (all less than 3cm in diamater). No daub or charcoal flecking
was evident.
The pit was cut into hillwash, with a U-shaped profile. The full extent
was difficult to define, although it appeared that the partial skeleton
only just fit into the shallow cavity.
