Pit

Phasing

Like many other features in this part of site 12AD, the vast majority of diagnostic finds are later Roman potsherds (30). However, the find of a single Anglian sherd indicates a later phase for this pit. The feature was sealed by spit 012AD00275, and had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This was a sub-circular pit, with a single fill of sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), and chalk inclusions of 5% (0.5-1.5cm in diameter). There was no daub or charcoal flecking. The pit was deeper in the north-east, with the deepest part containing almost no chalk inclusions. Most of the finds were from the upper part of the fill. Only a single dog bone was found.

The pit was cut into sand and gravel, with an irregular profile.
