Short Description:
Cut of posthole.
Issued to
Henry Callender | 07/02/2020

Interpretation

    • Cut of posthole. Thought to be possible cremation however excavation has revealed it is likely just a posthole with a dark, charcoal rich fill. Posthole [4677] is likely contemporary with this posthole, due to the similarities in their dark fill and dimensions. Possible forming part of a fence line?? Unclear purpose.
