Discussion

This pit contained a single fill (012AC00146), a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with very few chalk inclusions. Initially the feature was believed to be one large, irregularly shaped pit, but the removal of this material demonstrated that at least three pits were present (012AC00147, 012AC00208 and 012AC00212). It was also demonstrated that pit 012AC00208 cut this shallow feature.

The pit was cut  through surface 012AC00130, with a wide U profile.
