Short Description:
Cut for NE-SW aligned burial in slot against eastern bulk of TR2 (W) containing SK2313
Issued to

Interpretation

    • Linear cut of a NE-SW aligned grave containing SK2313. This cut was not fully exposed in plan due to the skeleton extending beyond the LOE, however it is likely to be rectangular in shape. The grave was cut into a potentially earlier NW-SE aligned linear feature [2311]
