| Context | Height (m AOD) | Sample | Type of deposit | Sediment description |
|---|
| 1004 | 13.6 | 30001 | surface deposit or uppermost extant fill of large pit 1015 | heterogeneous, soft, amorphous organic sediment and buff silty clay/clay silt in dark grey-brown humic clay, with stones to 10mm, mortar and white 'efflorescence' |
| 1004 | 13.5 | 30002 | surface deposit or uppermost extant fill of large pit 1015 | very heterogeneous: dark brown (oxidising in places to reddish-brown) soft, crumbly (working plastic) silty clay with lumps of organic sediment; stones 6-20mm, brick/tile and some white 'efflorescence' present |
| 1008 | 13.3 | 30003 | fill of pit 1015 | mid-dark grey-brown, crumbly (working plastic), sandy silty clay with small clasts of pale grey clay, traces of white 'efflorescence', charcoal, wood (chips from black to orange; very rotted); fruitstones in concretions; large mammal bone |
| 1014 | 12.9 | 30004 | fill of pit 1015 | mid, slightly ochreish-brown, just crumbly (working plastic and slightly sticky) silty clay with 1- and 10-mm scale mottles more grey and more orange, and mortar, white 'efflorescence' and wood |
| 1020 | 12.9 | 30005 | very thick layer into which pit 1015 was cut | dark brown, soft, crumbly, slightly structured (working just plastic) silty amorphous organic sediment with stones 2-6mm, ?mortar, brick/tile, small patches of white 'efflorescence', wood (mineral-replaced in part), and large mammal bone fragments |
| 1032 | 12.5 | 30006 | very thick layer into which pit 1015 was cut (probably part of same context as last) | very dark brown, slightly soft to crumbly (working plastic), silty amorphous organic sediment with slight darker and lighter mottling, some pot, charcoal, wood, burnt bone and oyster shell; an iron object also present |
