Basic Information
- Layer and backfill of pit
Group Description
-
- Rubbish pit [620] was dug into (616), a heavily compacted layer of gravels that overlay (662) the latest fill of pit cut [663], and underlying (662) was (664) further backfill of the pit. The lowest fills of this pit cut were (674), and (675). These later fills were very mixed, typical of refuse deposits. The lower fills were comparatively sterile, and were not seen as refuse deposits. Contexts (616), (662), and (663) were seen as having been laid down to level off the area in an attempted reuse of the land.

Dating Information
-
- No dating material was recovered from fill (662). However material recovered from fill (664) consisted of three pot sherds. Of these two were dated to 1270-1400, and one was dated to 1480-1600. Also a floor tile of undiagnostic fabric type was also recovered from (664), thought to be a Low Countries import, and dated to the 14th - late 15th century. No dating material was recovered from layer (616), but given its strategraphic position it is seen as Early Post Medieval.
