Interpretation

    • Fill of pit [4646]. Very dark fill, compared to surrounding features it is cutting masking it very clear to see in section that is cutting ditch [4640]. Darkness of the fill is likely because of increased amounts of charcoal in fill. 15 animal bones or fragments of, 5 burnt stones and 5 sherds of pot recovered from fill.
