Group Description
-
- Stone feature {1147} was built into construction cut [1149], which was dug into (1159), the fill of lineaer feature [1160]. This linear feature appeared to terminate at its western end a couple of meters west of grid point 530/90. At its east end it was cut by a large modern truncation. The fill of this feature was mixed with frequent sub-angular flint pebbles, fragmented CBM, and occasional pot sherds and charcoal, indicating a refuse pit. The cut of this feature, [1160], was dug into (1163), the fill of rectangular pit [1164], that was dug into (1173), the fill of shallow cut [1174]. There is no clear edge for the fill on the surface, indicating that it had spilled out over the top of the cut. This is seen as a refuse pit. Cut [1174] was dug into (1189) a back fill of pit [1191], which held occasional CBM inclusions. This large pit also held (1190), which formed the primary fill of the pit. This pit was possible related to stone structure {1147}. Cut [1191] was dug into (1264), the fill of pit cut [1265], an irregular linear/cresent shaped pit cut that was dug into (1218). Late Post Medieval construction cut [1097] was dug into (1143), the upper fill of [1144], which overlay primary fill (1150). The sandy silt light blueish grey fills of this pit indicated an organic and possibly water lain deposit. The cut of this feature was probably circular, but had been subject to heavy truncation on both the East and West sides. Cut [1144] was dug into (1189), the fill of large pit [1191]. Underlying the Post Medieval soils lay (1426), the truncated fill of Roman pit [1427], that contained pot, CBM, and charcoal. This feature was possibly associated with the cemetery due to the NE-SW alignment. The feature is seen as a refuse deposit, and [1427] was cut into the natural gravels of the site area.
