On excavation of the eastern part along a N-S section this feature was found to be a broad shallow pit upto 45cm deep with vertical sides at north and south faces and a sloping roughly cut eastern end. Fill;Homogenous in consistency about 50 percent medium sized stone, 50 percent light brown soil.
Layer 1. distinguished by darker soil and presence of some burnt stones.
Layer 2. yellowish clayey leached soil with rather fewer stones than 1. At the bottom of 2, beneath northern edge, large number of fragmented bones. Note three small slots [planned] on S.E.,N.W.,and S.W.sides.c.25cm in depth.
20 continues through natural fissure to S.W. as a shallow irregular gully sloping down into F00420 proper

F00423

E3

Probably a natural feature, perhaps the hollow of a tree root. This was identified as an area of chiple and small stones in otherwise undisturbed bedrock. On excavation of a N-S section across the eastern end it appeared to be a natural feature. Upheaval of laminae of "ragstone" with loamy soil infilling, noticably more chippley at bottom. The feature was about 21-33 cms deep and its fill was sterile, with no finds. Soil sample taken from bottom.

Probable natural feature, a tree root, similar to F00423. This appeared as an area of disturbed bedrock, with some burning at the surface. Again it had a sterile fill of well packed uprooted bedrock, almost certainly caused by a tree root. Soil sample taken from bottom.
