Group of ?Natural Features

Discussion

A group of ten solution holes located to the south-east of pits 002CA00300 and 002CA00309. They were filled with a sandy clay (Munsell ranging from 10YR 4/3 to10YR 5/6). Onlyone object was recovered from the 002CA00559. This was a flint scraper, and was almost certainly residual. There were no charcoal flecks in any of the features.
