Group Description
-
- In the western area of the site lay a cluster of intercutting Roman pits that were heavily truncated by later activity. These features consisted of pits and the remains of what was seen as a heavily truncated linear. In addition to being heavily truncated they went beyond the L.o.E. They are seen as late refuse pits, although limited in finds, they did contain charcoal flecks and four pieces of pottery were recovered from (743) were dated to 250-400AD, and the one sherd of pot from (753) was dated to 70-160AD, and this earlier dated piece is seen as residual. Therefore these are seen as fairly late features.

This is clearly a difference in dates of at least 90 years, however given that these fills are the same from the same feature separate by truncation, the earlier dated piece is seen as residual. Therefore these are seen as fairly late features.
