Discussion

A grave in the south of area 2CC. Badly truncated, probably by machine during stripping of site. Contained skeleton of an adult aligned to the north and in the flexed position. Although not immediately evident, it is likely that the skull faced west. The grave fill contained one pottery sherd, although the human bones were also treated as individual finds.
