Full Description
F28
A inhumation burial discovered in Evaluation Trench 1. Just one foot was uncovered in the very western end of trench; the rest of the skeleton was outside the trench. However, it was E-W orientated with head at the east end. The skeleton was not excavated - it was photographed, the location was plotted and it was covered over. The grave fill was exactly the same as the dark soil into which it was cut (very hard to distinguish).
F29
Same as F29, more of feature outside of the trench. Not excavated. <1>
