Short Description:
Cut of a small pit
Issued to

Interpretation

    • Cut of a small pit with regular shell inclusions. This pit may have been used as a refuse tip for waste material from seafood. Or alternatively it may have been somewhere to deposit shells as a temporary storage location in advance of firing in the limekiln just to the North - as shells are a natural source of lime
