| This pit, initially identified as a meter in diameter, is actually characterized by a much smaller cut [20231]. The extent of u. 20229 likely represents significant blowing or spillover of the pit's fill (20229), a phenomenon seen as well with f. 3953 to the north. The actual cut is about .33 m in diameter, and is quite round. The basal boundary of the pit was marked by a soil change to a compact reddish clay loam, which blended with the sides of the cut. The function of this pit is unclear, given the lack of artifacts inside it. It is the right size and shape for a post retrieval pit, but as the walls are only just emerging in the trench, this seems somewhat unlikely. |
