Group Description
-
- Post Medieval construction cut [2173] was dug into (1396), the latest fill of [1399], a pit which also held secondary fill (1397), and primary fill (1398). Fills (1398) and (1397) were very mixed indicating that this feature was originally dug to receive the fill as a refuse pit. The latest fill, (1396), was notably less mixed and so was possibly a capping layer. Cut [1399] was dug into layer (1403). Stratigraphically under Post Medieval construction cut [2172] was (1351), the upper fill of pit [1353]. This later fill produced Roman pottery, a lot of oyster shells and charcoal flecks, indicating that this was a refuse pit. It is very similar to lower fill (1358), but was noted to contrast with primary fill (1352), that was comparatively sterile. This lower fill in [1353] was seen as edge collapse, indicating that the pit had been open for sometime before being back filled by the later refuse deposits. Cut [1353] was cut into layer (1403).

- The date range of material from these features goes places it in the Roman II phase. However, stratigraphically these features are later, seen as Roman III, and so these finds are seen as residual.
