Discussion

The single fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 20% chalk inclusions. Both daub and charcoal flecking were noted (one sample of each taken). The section shows a number of larger chalk fragments are present, centrally and to the north. It is possible that they were a form of post packing, but this was not noted during the excavation season.

The pit was cut into hillwash in the north and west, and into solid chalk in the south and east, with a U-shaped profile.
