Description
July 2023. Trial trenching.
In Trench 314, two small pits were identified, both contained charcoal-rich deliberate dump deposits. The pits were no deeper than 0.29m and had diameters of less than 0.54m. These pits, although undated, could have an association with a possible building in or near to Trench 316 (EHER 80982).
A shallow ditch in Trench 318 is also undated and produced fragments of fired clay. <1>
