Discussion

Initially the feature was believed to be one large, irregularly shaped pit, but subsequent excavation demonstrated that at least three pits were present (012AC00147, 012AC00208 and 012AC00212). This pit remained unexcavated, although it was taken down to expose the burnt daub deposit (012AC00161) which lay within it. A sample of this material was taken.

The pit cut through surface 012AC00130, with an undulating profile.
