F00550

Small area of large flat stones, lying quite high compared to its surroundings, and overlying a massive upheaval in the area of the long EW fault. The flat stones appear to be bedrock.

Gully in south-west. Stones and chipples, overlying a layer of greyer chipples. Within this grey layer were some fairly isolated patches of red/burnt oolite, but no evidence of charcoal and no artefacts. Finds: One piece of bright pink burnt oolite

Posthole. An area of upturned stones, on being sectioned disclosed a posthole, the upturned stones appearing to have been packing. One pot sherd found close to the surface of infill, and some charcoal, which was found all the way down layer (1), running out at bottom of layer (1). Finds: 1 pot sherd and some charcoal.

Area of burnt stones. In section nothing but tumble/upturned stones, not taking any shape; surrounding the larger stones were lots of burnt oolite chipples: finds numbered 58. Underneath this lot were flat stones, apparently bedrock, burnt to a pink tinge. These flat stones ended at a fault in the strata, showing very solid vertical stones with a quite thick calcite coating. The burnt area had partially overlain this fault, which ran the entire length of the cutting.

Posthole. This feature appeared on the surface as a slight depression. It was impossible to take out a proper section since the infill consisted of large stones and much earth, and so it was drawn as it was being dismantled. The upper level of infill showed lighter coloured soil than the lower. All stones were large, with a lot of packing stones in situ - more than can be shown in the section drawing. Finds were all from near the top (1), except for some pieces of charcoal which came from the extreme bottom (2).

Posthole. As this posthole was not obvious from above, but showed only as a slight depression, it was sectioned off centre, and therefore its size is a little exaggerated in the drawing. Very close, to the east of this posthole is the natural fault which runs right through the cutting.

Posthole. Between this small post and F00558, which is another small posthole, and all around both, there is a large area of quite heavy disturbance. Hence we had to remove quite a lot of dislodged large stones before we could see the postholes.
