Discussion

A pebble surface in area 11BD. The surface (011BD01105) appears to have been repaired in two places (011BD00570 and 011BD01170) with larger chalk blocks. The surface comprised of mainly chalk blocks with some sandstone, limestone and flint. The largest stones were present in setting 011BD00570, measuring 3cm to 27cm in length. Part of a Neolithic polished stone axe appears to have been set into the surface. A small layer of silt (011BD01147) was present on the surface, butting up to repair 011BD01170. The sequence of events is very similar to that of pebble surface 011BD01125 to the north/west and the two surfaces are probably part of the same event.
