It is overlain by (3500) and (3077) and is cut by Victorian trenches. Possibly an abandonment phase build up and succeeds a dark silty layer, possibly indicating a change from a soil or garden area to a courtyard. This layer is more recent than the possible post holes which the trench to the north of the layer show. Plan no: 20.53, 20.54, 29.70 & 29.71 Section no: 363 |
