Group Description
-
- Roman grave cut [1810] was dug into (1914), the fill of [1915], a small oval pit that was cut into (1974), the fill of [1975]. Mixed fill (1914) was seen as a refuse deposit, and it is possible that [1915] was a re-cut of [1975]. Cut [1975] was cut into (1888), the fill of [1889], and again it is possible that [1975] is a recut of [1889]. The function of these pits is thought to have been for refuse deposits.

Dating Information
-
- The earlier pits in the sequence did not produce any datable material. However, the earliest pit in the sequence of three, (1888)-[1889], produced a total of seven pot sherds, all of which were dated to 250-400AD. Therefore the pits and the burials that were cut into the top of them are seen as relatively late.
