Context Number: | 5469 |
Description: | Levelling deposit |
Notes: | Probable levelling deposit for a floor in the corridor of the timber house. (5469) was exposed during the 2004 season and was originally thought to overlie gravel layer (5768) to the east. However, it was decided in 2005 that (5768) was actually above (5469). Below (5469) was a thin layer of dark silt and possibly burnning, only extending as far as the overlying clay and this was taken off at the same time. Strat below (5768). Butts beam slot [5428]. Cut by [4603]. Completely removed in 2005. Plan no: 21.177 |
Composition: | Loose, pale green / yellow silty clay Inclusions: 5-15% stones (S-A) (S-R) (6-20mm) Extent: 0.87m x 0.45m; Thickness: 0.02-0.03m Clear edge definition |
Small Finds: | 49691 |
