Full Record for Context Number 4454

Context Number: 4454
Description: Levelling deposit
Notes:Thick yellow clay levelling deposit south of House 1, covering a substantial part of the area. Partially removed in 2003 to reveal underlying contemporary flint and CBM spread (4459) which lay under the western extent of the spread. (4459) was assumed to be roughly contemporary being either consolidation for the levelling layer or a demolition spread. Clay (4454) masked/sealed the post pad stones that appear to relate to the stone phase of House 1. At the edges of the deposit it becomes quite diffuse, tailing off into a thin band over the underlying gravels and silts. However, the northern and western edges of the deposit appear quite linear/delineated. The northern part of the deposit also contained a fairly high percentage of CBM. Strat below (5087), (5072), (5230), (6177). Strat above (4459). Cut by (4460). Completely removed in 2005. Plan no: 11.237, 12.126, 12.127, 12.128, 12.129, 12.143, 13.158, 13.159, 14.136
Composition: Soft, mid brown / yellow clayey siltInclusions: 15-35% gravel (S-A) (2-6mm); Occasional small fragments of CBMExtent: 5.49m x 2.3m; Thickness: 0.25mClear edge definition
