Discussion

 An large, ovate pit in area 12AB. The pit lies to the south of larger pit 012AB00498 and both were cut through Grubenhaus 012AB07004. Both pit fills were dark and silty, rich in charcoal inclusions and are likely to be contemporary. The material from this pit indicates an Anglian date, probably Middle Saxon as it cuts the Early Saxon Grubenhaus. The side plate and rivet of an Anglian bone comb was also recovered (012AB00619AC).
