Short Description:
Upright stones in SW corner of east side of the trench - probable stone-lining for a grave
Issued to

1332

Interpretation

    • Probably the stone lining of burial, as the longer edge is on E-W alignment, and there are similar examples nearby which contained burials. Only the tops of the stones can be seen as of 2020 excavations.
