Short Description:
Cut of a grave in the slot to the SW of the limekiln, containing the feet of SK2439 protruding from the western LOE of TR2W.

Interpretation

    • Likely the cut of an E-W aligned grave with the feet only visible protruding from the western LOE of TR2W. The profile of the cut near the feet was visible in section only and most of the grave remains unexcavated, extending beyond the trench. However, it is expected that this feature will consist of an E-W aligned burial with the head to the west and the exposed feet to the east in the Christian tradition and in keeping with the other graves discovered in the cemetery here. Further investigation would be needed to confirm this.
