Discussion

Initially believed to be an elongated pit, it appears more likely that this is a layer of material, sealing a possible furnace base 012AD05356. The material removed was a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 7.5YR 3/3). Although not immediately apparent, the layer was cut by ditches 012AD05076 in the east and 012AD07219 in the west.
