This shallow pit was located right on the western edge of the original
baulk between areas 12AC and 12AD. It contained a single fill, a sandy
loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with very few chalk inclusions. No daub
or charcoal flecking were noted. The pit also contained fragments of red
sandstone.
The feature was cut through layers 012AD00089
and 012AD00180, down into chalk natural,
with a flat-based U profile.
