-
- Underlying the modern overburden, (938) formed the mixed Post-Medieval Rubble backfill of soak-away {936}, underlying (938), was backfill (939), which overlay (991), a cessy, waste fill of the soak-away. Context (938) is seen as a later backfilling event, with the deposit being laid down after the abandonment of the soakaway.

Dating Information
-
- A total of seven pot sherds were recovered from this fill, six of which were dated to 1600-1650AD, and the remaining sherd was dated to 1270-1500AD. Given that this rubble back fill deposit was a capping layer in the soakaway post abandonment (late Post Medieval) these sherds are seen as residual.
