Summary : A stone feature.
Description : The central part of the section of sondage 1 contained several discrete contexts that are best interpreted as the fills of a cut feature associated with stony feature 009. This sequence had been truncated to either side by a modern pipe trench and a Roman cut feature, provisionally interpreted as a pit. To either side of this, a variable layer of hard packed grey and brown silty clay could be seen to overlie buried soil 032. This (030 and 067) contained fragments of Roman pottery, heat affected clay and charcoal. Similar deposits were found across the majority of the site (094 and 086) and were characterised by variable amounts and colours of clay and silt with frequent Roman finds often in the form of large fragments of unabraded Roman pottery. This appears to be a mixed Roman occupation layer (Hopewell, 2020).
