Discussion
This sub-circular pit was located on the chalk on the western edge of the
dry valley. The notes indicate that three fills were present (no section
drawing could be found). These fills differed in their chalk inclusion
rate, with the primary fill containing 5%, the secondary fill 15%, and
the final fill, a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2) with 5% chalk
oinclusions.
The pit was cut into chalk, and through the redeposited natural fill
of pit 012AD05268, with a U-shaped
profile.
