Unit 5269

Category: Cut    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: gully,structural 

Data Category Information: Description: gully

Dimensions: 0.57m wide, 0.13m deep, 1.8m+ long 

Discussion: Shallow curving cut with wide 'U' shaped profile. Some form of gully? Possibly around a structure located to south-east, it is superficially quite similar to Britich Iron Age gullies around round-houses. Could be associated with post-pad (4883). It has been suggested that it could be structural but this seems somewhat unlikely. Given the evidence for 'lime burning' in the vicinity it may relate to this activity somehow. Although somewhat irregular it looks like it may be part of a circle, if so its internal diameter would be approximately two metres and its external one c.2.4 to 2.8 metres. Could be relater to trample (5272).
