Discussion

An almost circular pit in the north of area 2CC, to the north of grubenhaus 002CC01802. It was located just to the west of a possible feature, 002CC01807. The fill was a dark sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/2). It was formerly only seen as a smaller feature, originally excavated as 002CC00274, but weathering over time revealed its true extent.

The feature was cut into sand & gravel, to the north of the chalk. It was defined to a large extent by patches of iron pan on the base and sides.
