Pit

Phasing

The only diagnostic material culture recovered were two Roman pot sherds. Apart from being sealed by context 002CB00001, the feature had no other stratigraphic relationships. It was very similar in nature to 002CB02354, which was located only a couple of metres to the east.

Discussion

This feature was excavated as a single entity, although it soon became apparent that two features were present (either two pits in close proximity or a double post hole. Its location within the roundhouse 002CB07036 may be fortuitous, as the round house was never seen on the ground (it was identified from a high level balloon photograph). The fill was a friable silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with 5% chalk inclusions in the south and 10% in the north.

The features were cut into a chalky gravel, and although given a W-shaped profile in the context record, are much more likely to be two separate features with V-shaped profiles.
