The most southerly feature revealed was a rectangular pit. A cluster of pot sherds and charcoal evident at top of this 2 x 1.2m feature, 0.24m deep. 15 sherds of early - mid Saxon pottery representing no more than 4 vessels from the upper fill, containing charcoal, burnt sand and heat affected pebbles. The lower fill also contained charcoal but no artefacts. The feature has been interpreted as a pit containing a hearth for cooking purposes. The pottery was not badly abraded, and this feature probably is of C6 date. One of the vessels is from the Charnwood Forest area. (1)
