Unit 13495

Category: Cut    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: pit 

Data Category Information: Description: pit

Dimensions: 2.10x2.04x0.31 

Discussion: Pit like feature. There is a compacted clay component in the base of the pit derived from primary reworking of the layer beneath probably in association with standing water. This suggests that the pit was left open directly after construction. Initial function of the pit is not clear. Perhaps a quarry function is possible, though the pit is quite shallow. Secondary function seems clearer as layer (13494), seems to point to domestic waste dumping.

Dating of the pit: finds from layer point to Byzantine/Roman date.
