Full Description

A small circular features (0002) was observed 60 metres north of the south boundary fnece of Area 03, and 27 metres from the road edge. This pit was around 0.8m in diameter and was between 0.15m and 0.2m deep, with steep sides and an uneven base. The fill of the pit was a sandy clay loam with some small flecks of charcoal and several large heat affected stones between 0.02m and 0.1m. It was difficult to determine whether it had been clay-lined or simply dug into clay. No associated artefacts were found to date this feature. (1)
