Discussion

A large, deep pit in central 11CD. The pit cut through slot 011CD05012 and enclosure ditch 011CD20017. The pit had vertical sides, slightly under-cut in places, and a flat base cut into gravel natural. Four fills were apparent during excavation with varying percentages of chalk inclusions (see section). The presence of Niedermendig lava in the primary fill (011CD05650) suggests an Anglian date for the feature.
