Interpretation
-
- This layer clould be related to the burial ground (grave SK 1021) or the presumably younger drain/foundation marked by a line of large flat stones. It's unclear if (1019) is equivalent to (1042).

-
- Ditches filled with crushed shell were found on the Bowl Hole Cemetery in Bamburgh, which makes a relationship between grave (SK 1021) and (1019) plausible. The high density of quartz pubbles also suggests an association with the graves.
