Area of upturned limestone, possible packing for post hole near fault line. The fact that F03499 overlies this ph is not helpful as F03499 has been severely root disturbed, and there is a strong possibility that this ph was cut through it, if not also through F03475, which lay above F03499. This ph matches three others F03492, F03893, F03501 and the four would seem to form a rectangular structure.
