Discussion

Second spit taken over the ?prehistoric buried soil situated to the west of Grubenhaus 002CA00983 and the excavated stream channel segment 002CA00982. The frequency of objects was much greater than that of the spit directly above (63 finds as opposed to 3) with bones totals remaining low. A total of 26 potsherds were found, 18 of which were of a Medieval date. Also recovered were 17 pieces of worked flint, all of which were flakes or blades.
