Short Description:
Fill of a possible metalworking waste pit F206 - same as (2135)
Issued to
Ben Swain | 29/09/2022

Interpretation

    • This fill of pit F206 is the same as fill (2135). It represents the continued excavation of this pit after it was discovered in 2022 that all of the fill had not been fully excavated in previous seasons and the pit was a slightly different shape to what had previously been recorded
