Description: irregular / ovoid cut 

Discussion: Small scoop cut into make-up layer against west wall as space 71 foundation, for apparent foundation burial of a neonate - one of 3 in a row there. The NW extension more shallow & filled with yellowish clay layer. The S edge more clear in the top of the fill & easy to follow down, but as the fill changed to be the same as the layer in was cut into & with the removal of delicate bones, especially skull, & large underlying stone which was pushed down into the layer, the base of the cut was difficult to define.
