Full Description

Pits directly adjacent to one another. Full extent of features not discovered, and while fairly shallow, they may acutally be ditches. First pit displayed a
shallow profile with two fills; the later mixed redeposited sand that may be the result of trample or bioturbation on the edge of a feature. Adjacent to this, a 5m wide pit or large ditch also had a shallow profile with more evidence of trample or similar on its western edge. Both features were undated. (1)
