Pit

Phasing

The only find was a sherd of late Romano-British pottery. However, as the pit cut through fill 012AD08535 of Grubenhaus 012AD08480, it must be Anglian or later in date.

Discussion

This was a small pit, cutting through Grubenhaus 012AD08480. It conatained a single fill, a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with very few chalk inclusions. Some daub but no charcoal flecking was noted. The context record indicates that a bone pin was present, although this has not found its way into the object record.

The pit was cut into sand and through fill 012AD08535, with a flat based U profile.
