Pit

Phasing

All of the diagnostic material from this feature was of a later Roman date (six pot sherds and a fragment of blue glass). Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD00539, the pit had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

The pit contained a single fill (012AD00736), a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 15% chalk inclusions, all less than 5cm in diameter. A little daub and charcoal flecking was noted.

The pit was cut into hillwash, with a wide U profile.
