Discussion

A grave in the centre of area 2CC. Badly truncated, probably by machine during the initial stripping of the site. The grave contained a skeleton of an adult aligned north-east and in the crouched position. The neck vertebrae were bent over and the skull was thus facing south, with the hands under the skull. The grave fill contained a flint knife and scraper, although the human bones were also treated as individual finds.
