Discussion

Although classified as a pit, this feature was difficult to define on the ground. The fill was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 10% chalk inclusions. Both daub and charcoal flecking were noted. A layer of redeposited pink chalk sealed the base of the feature. In common with the other features in the immediate area, a high density of Roman pottery was recovered (including 26 Huntcliffe ware jar sherds). Two iron nails and an iron ferrule were also present. Only small unidentified animal bone fragments were found.
