Across most of the unit in 1:1 the matrix was a reddish-brown colour (2.5YR 4/4). Only two features
were apparent on the surface of 1:1 both of which
were larger pieces of sandstone (1:1 Features 1 and 2).
Other small scatters of sandstone were noted across
the unit. Excavation rendered ceramic sherds (cat.s 3,
5, 7, 10-20), charcoal (cat.s 8, 9), an iron disc, c. 2cm
in diameter, which was plain on one side but dimpled
on the other (cat. 2). Possibly this is related to military
activity at the site in the 1970s. A fragment of chlorite
pendant (cat. 4) c. 4cm x 2 cm with a perforation was
uncovered and a chlorite barrel bead (cat. 6) c. 3 cm
in length and an agrellite flake (cat. 70) were recovered
from the sieve. To the west side of jar (#0022) there
were three lumps of sandstone similar to that from
which the jars are made. The removal of 1:1 rendered 588 pieces of sandstone totalling 14.3 kg.
