Pit
Phasing
The pit contained no diagnostic material culture, although the reddish
silty (daub-rich) nature of the fill generally indicated an event late
in the life of the Middle Saxon settlement. The feature was sealed by spit
012AD05289, but no other stratigraphic
relationships with the surrounding features were established.
Discussion
This feature was assumed to be a small pit (although it could equally be
the terminus of a slot). Its single fill was a reddish silty loam (Munsell
colour 5YR 4/4), with virtually no chalk inclusions. It also contained
a high burnt daub content. The only finds were fragments of daub and a
charcoal sample.
The feature was cut into sand & gravel, with an irregular profile.
