Group of ?Natural Features

Discussion

A group of eight ?natural features located to the north-west of the possible granary structure 002DA00259. They were filled with a silty sand (generally Munsell 10YR 4/3) and were almost inclusion free. All of the features were damaged by root action and animal burrowing. Very few finds were recovered from these features, most of which appear to be animal burrows. There were no charcoal flecks in the fills.
