Interpretation
-
- Large stone capping fill of a pit seen in the NE of trench 2. The full extent of the pit is not currently visible and so the function of the feature is currently unknown. It is possible that this is a midden pit as a deposit of animal bone was on top of it and then a deposit of shells were seen beneath it.
