Group Description
-
- A series of layers of mixed dumped deposits formed the earliest phase of activity after the excavation of the quarry face, recorded as Group 4. Large areas of these deposits were silty in composition, had a limited number for finds, and notable frequent sandy lenses indicated that they were probable water lain deposits, possibly inwash occurring during the abandonment of the area after the quarrying. Of the few inclusions recorded in these deposits, CBM fragments were noted, but these were seen as intrusive as a result of heavy truncation in the area. Initially many of these heavily truncated deposits were thought to be fills of separate pits. However this understanding changed and it came to be realised that they were the remnants of back filling events for the quarry face recorded in Group 4. They were seen as related to slumped gravel deposits which formed the primary fills of the huge Roman quarry face.

Dating Information
-
- The majority of datable pot sherds recovered from these fill were dated to 50-160AD, confirming that the deposits were of early date. Sherds of later dates, notably 250-400AD were also recovered from these deposits, but given the extensive truncation of these deposits filling the quarry face and the very early stratigraphic position, it is clear that these sherds were intrusive.
