With 350 objects and 213 animal bones, the other fills of the pit had a relatively high density of finds, including a particularly high quantity of Anglian material. The pit was also unusual in having a high magnetic susceptibility, making it clearly visible in the English Heritage (AML) gradiometer survey of the area.
