[2095] mid orange/grey sandy clay with sandy patches with moderate gravel inclusions with
rare flecks of charcoal
[2096] orange/pale grey sandy clay with moderate gravel inclusions
[2097] cut terminal round in plan 0.90m wide and 0.45m deep with moderate sloping
straight/concave sides and sharp concave base
[2259] moist dark grey/black silty clay with moderate flecks of charcoal
[2260] moist mid brown/orange silty gravel
[2261] light grey/blue silty clay with flecks of charcoal
[2262] moist mid brown/orange silty gravel
[2263] cut 1.16m wide and 0.52m deep with moderately steep concave sides with moderately
sharp concave base
F.1264 was a linear on a northwest-southeast orientation and was approximately 36.20m in length, four
1.00m slots were sampled included both terminals. The northern terminal cut into pits F.1265 and
F.1270 that appeared had been partly silted which gave the impression that the linear was deeper at the
terminal. There was a sequence of fills of fine sands and gravels that had eroded from the sides
interspersed with waterlogged organic remains. Periods of silting occurred afterwards before the linear
was re-cut which immediately formed a waterlogged organic layer, after which periods of silting
continued. This linear appeared to have been re-cut an earlier small and shallow linear on the same
orientation that continued southwards. The sample slot that was placed across the linear and a pit
(F.1282) provided no stratigraphic evidence on their relationship, and the fills at this point was shared
by both features. The fills consisted of;
[2252] firm mid brown/grey silty clay with occasional gravel inclusions and frequent flecks of
charcoal
[2253] mixed layers of mid orange/brown silty clay with frequent gravel inclusions and
orange/brown silty clay with moderate gravel inclusions and mid grey silty clay with moderate
gravel inclusions
[2254] firm bark brown/black silty clay with occasional gravel inclusions and organic
inclusions
[2255] re-cut 0.00m wide and 0.00m deep with sloping sides with sharp concave base
[2256] silted deposits and lenses of loose pale yellow/grey silty sand and loose red/brown sand
and lenses of firm mid orange fine gravel and dark brown/black clayey silt

concave base

silty clay with rare gravel inclusions
