Short Description:
Dark Silty layer with large flag stones beneath it in the north of TR2W

Interpretation
-
- This dark silting layer appears to be filling in a hollow/depression in the ground, capping earlier features (such as stone lined channel F724 and wall F723) which appear to have sunk into it. It is possible this depression implies the existence of an earlier feature below (such as a pit or even the continuation of the linear ditch observed in the southern end of TR2W) into which later features have sunk. This silting is truncated by the later Norman limekiln F217 and also grave F716.
