Interpretation
-
- Top fill of large bell shaped pit [6257], seals previous layer (6269). Suggests final phase of pit - perhaps decommission of pit? May be intentional backfill from decommission of pit - due to the fill containing moderate amount of pottery and animal ribs. The fill may also be a result of intentional backfilling at later date when agricultural levelling of land was taking place. The fill is cut by the large ditch feature 515 / [6261], which has a similar fill colour (6262), suggesting the top fill of pit [6257] may be more likely a result of intentional backfill from agricultural levelling of area.
