Unit 11927

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.10m (N-S) x 1m (E-W) x 0.4m depth 

Discussion: This Neolithic adult burial was exposed by erosion of eastern aspect of east mound in 4040. 3 partial burials are in the same burial cut (SK 11124, 11127 and 11935). Human remains are poorly preserved and fragmentary.
Numerous owl pellets are intermixed with burials, suggesting exposure of the burials in the past.
Burial cut is portioned in a space separated by Neolithic walls to the west and south, creating a possible separate room.

Sealed by an erosion horizon 11962. There are no surviving secure occupation units within this space relating to B.54. FS
