Description

The test pit (ref BG13TP20) was a 1x1m square to a depth of 50cm on the lesser green, dug by hand in 10cm spits; all spits were 100% sieved and all spits were recorded on context sheets, including finds. At 32-37cms a broken cobble- stone feature was found. A deeper sondage in one quarter of the pit to 80cms confirmed undisturbed orange clay beneath the cobbles with no finds. (1)
