Narrative

    • Probable medium sized storage pit - the lack of finds suggests storage rather than rubbish pit. Possibly Iron Age or Romano-british due to the similarity in form and character to other examples in the vicinity, though no dateable material was recovered from this feature. This pit is partially truncated by Roman enclosure ditch F1108 and therefore must predate this later feature.
