Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: grave fill of late burial 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Fill of late burial F.3085 was a mid-orangy brown which clearly defined it from the dark grey material the grave was cutting into. The fill contained a juvinile skeleton and 5 x-finds (recorded w/ skeleton 16445). The top of the fill was eroded due to its proximity to the modern surface.
