Test Pit 10 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a reddish-brown clay layer directly underneath that continued to c. 1m deep. At 1.03m, a thin layer of natural skerry (mudstone) was exposed, which overlay an orangebrown clay (at 1.08m deep). The pit was excavated to a total depth of 1.1m. Modern artefacts were recovered from every layer, in the form of pottery, pieces of clay pipe, CBM, animal bone, glass and metal objects. A green-glazed pottery sherd was recovered from a depth of c. 80cm. The pit was clearly located within heavily disturbed ground, with relatively modern artefacts noted at 1m depth. 68 sherds representing 52 vessels of mainly late post-medieval to early modern date were recovered. Only two are of medieval date and five of late medieval to early post-medieval type. (1)
