Discussion

 A small pit in area 12AA. The pit cut through ditch 012AA07170 and slot 012AA00118. The pit was probably over-cut into buried soil (012AA00344) and in reality contained only two fills; a primary unburnt fill with approximately 50% chalk inclusions (012AA00343) and a final ashy fill with les than 5% inclusions (012AA00341). The ashy fill also contained charcoal, burnt bone and an unidentifiable, broken, iron object.
