Full Description
Occupation area F9, an unusually deeply hollowed occupation-site, the primary occupation layer was impinged on at the north end by a loam deposit coming apparently from the collapse of the wall bank on this side, with the destruction of the wall marked by a juxtaposed layer of burnt daub, over which a thick stratum of charred material and ash covered the whole occupation layer; over this a sand floor was laid, and a secondary occupation followed AD 44-48.<1>
