Description

  • Hard
  • Light greyish brown
  • Sandy silt
  • 75% angular/sub angular inclusions sandstone/gravel.
  • Length - 4.00 m Width - 3.50 m Depth - 0.10 m estimated by reference to 3D model
  • In 2016 many contexts where taken out that looked like they may be features. However as 2009 is a rubble layer upon further excavation the features turned out to be contestations of rubble within this layer. Therefore 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2022 are the same as 2009.
