Discussion

 A pit in the west of area 11BD/CD, fully excavated over two seasons (1991 and 1992). The pit was cut through the west side of ditch 011BD00939. The pit contained four fills; a primary fill of sandy loam with few inclusions (011BD01169 and 011CD05765), a secondary fill of sandy loam with more inclusions (011BD00901 and 011CD05764), a tertiary fill of charcoal (011BD00900 and 011CD05746) and a final fill of sandy loam with charcoal flecking (011BD00510). Few finds were recovered, the most significant was a bone needle from the final fill.
