Subgroup Narrative Text
-
- Cut by post hole [2109] and linear [2137] was (2128) (sampled as <274> <275>), the fill of grave cut [2130]. This grave cut was dug for burial (2129), an extended east-west burial. It was well preserved, but slumping of the grave in its southern side resulting from a post Medieval truncation just to the north of the grave, had disturbed the burial. The inhumation had associated burial goods of three dishes and one jar. The interred burial was placed on a chalk bed, the shape of which suggests the presence of a coffin which did not survive. Burial cut [2130] was dug into the natural gravels and was one of the earliest features in this area of the site.
