Discussion

This feature was exceptionally difficult to define, and was excavated under a series of different context numbers (to the west as 012AD00046 and centrally as layer 012AC00374). The primary fill was 012AC00378, a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with 20-25% chalk inclusions (<5cm in diameter). Charcoal flecking was present. This was sealed by 012AC00332, a darker sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with a lower chalk inclusion rate. As can be seen from the plot above, the feature contained a high density of animal bones (77% of which were sheep/goat).
