Full Record for Context Number 5421
| Context Number: | 5421 |
| Description: | Fill of beam slot [5420] |
| Notes: | Fill of beam slot [5420] running along the southern edge of the link room. This context was probably laid down to pack the beam slot when the timber / wall construction was removed as part of the rebuilding of the link room. (5421) is truncated by [5417], the foundation cut for a threshold or step. It is also overlain by (4636), clay spread to the south. At the south western end of (5421) there was a deposit of flint nodules (4597), which largely respected the line of the beam slot and was possibly a consolidation layer designed to combat future subsidence of the soft beam slot fill so that another wall could be built over the top (although convincing evidence for this wall is so far lacking - 28/07/04). Strat below (4636). Strat above [5420]. Same as (5422). Cut by [5417]. Completely removed in 2004.Plan no: 10.118, 11.182 {18/03/2005 KTOOTELL} |
