- CH05SR0555
- Pit in 519 (E. Corner of Room 33), fill of pit 557, room 33
- Grey-brown fine-silt-loam, loose ashy soil, approximately 60 cm in diameter, feature is generally circular. Visibly filled with metallurgical debris.
- Feature was bisected and rough section was drawn and photographed. Section is in excavators note book.
Interpretation
-
- Filling of cut used as hearth feature. Bottom revealed two faces of hearth faces, one partial circle on a South -East, North-West orientation; the second better preserved had a circular back and was 20 cm wide by 30 cm long. Fearture was filled with a possible hearth bottom, which was sampled for Chris Salter. Appears to be single filling episode. Upon further articulation of the bedrock, a circular cut was discerned, probably associated with the features use as a hearth. Fill appears to be a single filling episode.
