Context Number: | 3901 |
Description: | Levelling / construction deposit |
Notes: | Probably deposited as gravel fill for a surface associated with a wall feature. It was overlain by a loose gravel layer that covered the wall but survives so poorly that it did not abutt the wall directly. (3901) does not survive well and is likely to be missed without careful excavation. Completely removed within Slot 1 in 2002. Plan no: 28.80 Section no: 438 |
Composition: | Relatively loose - friable, brownish yellow silty sand Inclusions: 35-70% stones of all shapes (6-20mm) (2-6cm); ~50% small gravels. c. 3-5cm thick - very spotty in extent - possibly continuing into section wall. Clear edge definition |
Small Finds: | 34011 |
