Group Description
-
- The cuts recorded in this group are seen as gravel extraction pits, that were underlying the refuse pits and deposits recorded in group 71. Cut [1185] was believed to be a quarry pit, dug to access the gravels of the site area. The edges of the cut were very diffuse, and seemed fairly worn, indicating that the pit had been open for some time before it was back filled. Therefore the fills, sub-group 233, are seen as later deposits, probable refuse deposits used to to back fill the pit. Context (1246) formed the Upper layer of pit fill [1248], that also held primary fill (1247), sampled as <87>. The pit cut itself was possibly a quarry pit, but was small compared to others on site. The edges of the cut were fairly eroded, and it was assumed not to have been dug for the associated fills, seen as refuse deposits that back filled the vacant cut. The cut was dug into (660)=(852), the back fills of the quarry face recorded in subgroup 209.
