Discussion

A group of nine features interpreted as 2 post holes and 7 solution holes located to the south of pit alignment 002CA00165. The two features classified as post holes had a lighter (Munsell 75YR 4/6 and 10YR 4/6) sandy loam fill, wheras the features classified as soulution holes were filled with a darker (Munsell  75YR 4/4, 10YR 3/4 and 10YR 4/4) ) sandy clay loam. The only finds (one small cattle bone and an intrusive fragment of coke) were both from post hole 002CA00289.
