Narrative

    • An Iron Age pit, probably a storage pit, it is cut by a Roman ditch F#515. The pit had a diameter of 1.68 meters and was 0.60 meters deep. It contained three fills. The basal fill (5165) was a very thin layer of charcoal rich soil, a sample <13> was taken from the deposit. The secondary fill was a moderately firm greenish brown silty clay, possibly intentional backfilling. The final fill (5090) was a moderately firm dark grey brown clayey silt. The cut [5089] was steep sided with a flat base, typical of the type of Iron Age storage pit found on site.
