Discussion

 A large, irregularly shaped pit in the south of area 12AB. Two smaller pits (012AB00417 and 012AB00648) were cut through the pit. The northern terminus of ditch 012AB07186 was also cut through the pit. Two fills were distinguished; a primary fill of silty clay loam with 40% chalk inclusions and no finds (012AB00355), and a secondary, relatively darker and inclusion-free fill with object and animal bone finds (012AB00233).
