Full Description

A cluster of pits were found to the northwest of one of the enclosures.

One pit was a sub-oval pit with moderately steep sides and a flat base. It was backfilled by a mid-brownish grey silty clay that was 0.09m thick.

A second pit was an elongated pit with shallow concave sides and base, with single fill, a dark greyish brown silty clay 0.11m thick.

A third pit was an oval pit with steep sides and a concave base, containing single fill, a firm darkish brown silty clay 0.42m thick. This last pit contained a small assemblage of Roman pottery and was the only datable pit in this group.
