F02659

N5, N6, O6

Ditch. SW end appears to be cut into different material. Possibly geological fill of geological fault. Difficult to determine cut edges. Iron Age posts, some cut wholly into bedrock, but some (on bank side) cut into ditch. F02654 did not appear until ditch layers (2) + (3) were picked out despite vast quantities of pottery in the area. When exposed to the air the sides showed a dark grey/blue against the undisturbed ditch fill. Layered:
(1): brown earth, small stones
(2): brown earth, medium stones
(3): brown earth greyed by fungus, large stones
(4): yellow/grey earth, small stones, grit
(5): tumble large stones and air spaces dark gery.
(6): yellow/brown silt, red-grey limestone. wash below rubble on West slope of bedrock.

Posthole? Pitched stones in an area of relatively smooth larger stones. First believed to be a posthole but in fact F02673 came out in this area later on.

F02674

M5, N6

Double posthole? Disturbed layer of broken stone in bedrock surface. The large posthole F02674, (which may even be a treble) is matched across the ditch by F02668 and F02687. the latter did not appear as early as the former. although there are 10 postholes , it is thought the they form two separate groups: A 6-poster in the N.E. and a 4-poster in the S.W. No area suggesting a hearth was found, though F02672 with burned stones and bone at a high level in the ditch, could conceivably be associated with the 6-poster. Much pottery. No contact with ditch fill.

Posthole. A slope of hard packed stone in a pinkish matrix gave the impression of redeposited material but could be a form of natural. Area of small pitched stones on the west side of F02658. Contained some bone and fragments of pot. Edges not very hard.
