F02551

Area of red burnt limestone on surface only, 1 layer thick. Possibly the last vestiges of a hearth, as the finds concentration would indicate such.

F02552

N99, N1

A strip of burning with concentrated patches was noted in level (1) of the Southern third of N99 and a smaller area of N1 (see Plan (1) of N99 + N1). Two main concentrations given no's F02553 and F02555. Thought to be an area of natural faulting (see the jumbled stones on Plan (2)). Finds present throughout the feature.

F02554

M1, N1

Hearth, The original area of burning (see Plan (1), N1) was sectioned North-South with the eastern half removed. This proved, like F02551, to be a one stone-thick layer of burning. However, slightly to the East of this and running into cutting M1, a number of large flat grey and red burnt stones were uncovered. These look like they are the remains of a hearth. However, very little was found during sectioning, in contrast to the other possible hearths. There were numerous finds in the surrounding area, seemingly indicating some sort of building or structure. Finds: Daub, pottery, flint etc.

Posthole, Iron Age similar to F02557 and probably F02572. Stone and earth fill with some chipple. Post incorporates a rather large cut into southern edge which is probably due to the removal of the post.

Small posthole, nicely cut through F02111. A number of finds including a sherd of (probable) Iron Age pottery. Fill of small stones and earth. Matches F02114 on O1 although F02114 was sealed by, not cut through, F02111.

F02588

Large pit, very badly disturbed by roots and a fault, therefore very uncertain edges. Layer (2) had the familiar four poster, hard packed leached soil and limestone. Quite a few finds, noticeably large pieces of bone. Similar, perhaps, to nearby F02571 - in shape, not in fill.
