Context Number: | 3392 |
Description: | Dark layer |
Notes: | This context represents the first layer beneath levelling deposit (3365). It is a possible garden soil deposit and also seems to be the top layer of large subsidence towards the SW corner of the site. In 2003, it was established that this deposit is the same as (1844). Overlying clayey deposit (3601) and gravel (1845). The relationship with wall 1150 is uncertain due to Victorian truncation. Completely removed in 2003 Plan no: 1.25, 2.49, 2.50 Section no: 369 & 374 Accuracy rating - 5 Spot Date: 2nd century AD |
