Pit

Phasing

No finds were recovered from this pit. The feature was cut by ditch 012AD05066, although the section indicates that it was cut by the final phase of the ditch only, with the pit possibly cutting into earlier phases. Although the plan indicates the pit extended across the length of ditch 012AD05066, the section has it on the eastern side only, where it probably also cut away ditch 012AD05222.
