The colour is a very even fawn coloured medium brown with a small amount of burning always of the smallest fragments. There were less large pieces than in 4710 and 4716 and only four bones could be identified to element. Both 07 and 03 size bones were present. As in the other stabling deposits there were two very worn deciduous sheep/goat teeth - possibly shed.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
