Pit
Phasing
The only material culture recovered were three later Roman pot sherds.
The feature was sealed by spit 012AD00506.
The relationship with the larger pit 012AD00865
immediately to the north was not established. (Although the plan above
indicates that they were adjoining, in fact they were separated by a ridge
of hillwash, which was inadvertently excavated as part of the pit fill).
Discussion
This was a small, shallow pit, located just to the west of enclosure ditches
012AD07227
and 012AD01006. The single fill was
012AD00868, a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2),
with 30-50% chalk inclusions (up to 10cm in diameter). A little daub and
charcoal flecking were noted.
The pit was cut into solid chalk, with a U-shaped profile. It was heavily
plough truncated.
