Discussion

An even, sub-rectangular pit containing burnt material in area 11BB. The fill contained a large amount of charcoal, burnt stone, bone and pottery. The majority of the pottery sherds were of Early Saxon date. The stones appear to have been tumbled in from the south/east corner and spread across the floor of the pit. The base of the pit contained large pieces of charcoal, with intact wood grain. The vertical sided, flat based pit was cut into natural red chalk.
