Short Description:
Fill of grave in NW corner of ditch
Issued to
Caroline Beason | 21/09/2023

Interpretation

    • Fill of a grave containing SK2553, truncating the western edge of ditch F707 (visible in section). The skeleton itself was not excavated as of the 2023 season and remains in-situ. The feet are visible protruding from section. This fill likely represents the intentional backfill of the grave with the same material excavated out in a relatively quick event.
