Full Description

Several discrete features lay in the vicinity of one of the ring ditches. One pit/posthole (0.5 m dia. X 0.09 m) abutted the outer edge of the gully whereas another posthole (0.35 m dia. X 0.06 m) and pit (0.66 m dia. X 0.23 m) lay within the enclosed area. Environmental samples from these latter two features proved relatively rich, containing grains of emmer wheat and barley and chaff, along with remains of wild plants (mainly tubers and seeds), including false oat-grass, sedges, wild radish capsules, and seeds of grasses. Two other isolated features lay within the centre of the ring ditch. Both contained dark fills and heat-affected stone.
