Discussion

The 6th and final spit taken over the ?prehistoric buried soil situated to the west of Grubenhaus 002CA00983 and the excavated stream channel segment 002CA00982.  Although extensive burrowing makes this uncertain, it is likely that this spit is almost entirely composed of hillwash, with patches of buried soil occurring at this depth through animal action only. The spit contained 19 potsherds, again a mixture from the Iron Age through to the Post-Medieval period. Ten worked flints were recovered, 8 flakes and 2 blades.
