- Backfill of quarry pit [2016].
Group Description
-
- Dumped deposit (1985) overlay (2017), the fill of [2016], a Roman quarry pit that had been heavily truncated. Cut [2016] was dug into the natural gravels of the site area. Given the size of the quarry pit, it is probable that it was dug out as a quarry pit in order to access the gravels of the site area. Context (2017) is seen as a later back filling event in order to dispose of waste and reclaim the land left open by the excavation.
