Pit

 

Phasing

Discussion

A fairly large but moderately shallow feature probably cutting possible hollow way 002CC01650. The feature is also associated with pit 002CC00483 and post holes 002CC00390, 002CC00614 and 002CC00619. The relationship with pit 002CC00483 was not established. This feature appears to cut through post hole 002CC00614 and appears to be cut by post holes 002CC00390 and 002CC00619. Finds of mainly animal bone, predominantly sheep, goat and cattle. Recorded as a possible Grubenhaus in the field, it appears more likely to be a shallow pit.

In addition, when the finds for context 002CC00186 are plotted, they all fall within this feature. Although the context notes are scanty, they hint that this was once thought to be a post hole. It seems more likely that the finds belong to the fill of this pit, and as it contained a number of finds and animal bones, so it is included in this catalogue entry.
