Presumed to be a small grave, potentially a neonate burial (located near F1511), when first seen after the removal of plaster surface (10451) due to oval shape. The cut was through make up layer (10463), again similar to F1511. Two scrappy plaster fills appeared to be capping whatever lay beneath. However once the lower of these (10472) was removed there was only a heavily disturbed fill (10473), a deposit that appeared to sit directly above the cut. The base of this feature has been completely reshaped by animal burrows and so if any evidence remained to suggest what or why this feature was cut, then it has been lost. Cuts into midden deposits below.
Function and /or purpose of this feature is unknown. Potentially a grave cut, which has either never been used, or cleaned within its lifespan. No bones were present in any of the fills. It is likely that any indication of why this feature has been cut has been completely lost due to heavy disturbance by animals. |
