[2323] firm light brown/grey sandy silt with gravel inclusions and flecks of charcoal [2324] cut circular in plan 0.17 x 0.16m wide and 0.07m deep with moderately steep sides and concave base F.1293 was a small stakehole that was possibly associated with F.1292 and F.1306 which were also stakeholes. Possibly a three-post structure. The fill consisted of; [2325] loose light brown/grey sandy silt with gravel inclusions and flecks of charcoal [2326] cut circular in plan 0.12m x 0.13m wide and 0.07m deep with steep straight to concave sides and sharp concave base F.1306 was a stakehole that was associated with F.1293 and F.1292 which were also stakeholes. Possibly a three-post structure. The fill consisted of; [2327] firm light brown/grey sandy silt with occasional gravel inclusions and flecks of charcoal [2328] cut circular in plan 0.25m x 0.22m wide and 0.05m deep with sloping concave sides and concave base F.1295 was a large shallow pit which had a familiar fill to F.1296 which could represent that they were both opened and backfilled simultaneously. The fill consisted of; [2341] moist mid grey silty clay with occasional gravel inclusions [2342] cut circular in plan 1.42m x 1.39m wide and 0.23m deep with moderately steep concave sides and flat to concave base F.1296 was a small circular pit that contained no dateable artefacts and appears to be connected with two larger pits and a pit/well.
