Discussion

Although only a small part of the feature was excavated, it was believed to be part of a large, deep pit. The fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with chalk inclusions 5-10% (0.5-4cm in diameter). No daub or charcoal fleckinf were noted.

The pit was cut through feature 012AD08517 into sand & gravel, with a V-shaped profile. (The base may have been flat, but not enough of the feature was excavated to ascertain this).
