On the surface of 1:4 there were several
patches of soil that were redder (10R 5/4 weak
red) in colour than the rest of the matrix which
remained reddish brown in colour (2.5YR 4/4).
The feature under the Disc 006, labelled 1:1 Feature
1 was excavated and the limestone blocks removed
but no finds were made. Beside the stones, a circular
reddish feature was found (1:4 Feature 1) which
was dark reddish brown (2.5YR3/4) and c. 20 cm in
diameter. A larger circular feature, weak red in colour
and measuring c. 38 cm in diameter was identified to
the west of 1:4 F2. A smaller circular feature, c. 20 cm in
diameter of the same colour as Feature 2 was identified
immediately southeast and labelled as 1:4 Feature 4.
To the northwest of Jar 0022, a large piece of charcoal was found (cat. 58) and another piece 3 cm west of it (cat.
64). In the northwest corner of the unit some red (10R
5/4 weak red) soft, weathered rocks were uncovered.
Along the south baulk were some lumps of sandstone.
A sherd from the spit was found in the screen (cat. 65).
The area under Disc 006 revealed nothing aside
from a circular, dark reddish brown (2.5YR 3/4),
clay feature, labelled 1:4 Feature 1. Located about
1m west of this was 1:4 Feature 2; a circular, weak
red (10R 4/4) stain, 25 cm in diameter, which
was devoid of artefacts. Upon excavation this
was revealed to be 15 cm deep. Several pieces of
sandstone were also exposed on the surface of 1:4.
In the northwest corner of the unit 1:4 Feature 5 was revealed to be a collection of mudstone, some
quartz flakes (cat. 63), a piece of argillite (cat. 62),
charcoal (cat. 60 & 73), a few pot sherds (cat. 66). It was
apparent upon excavation that 1:4 F5 was a rock filled
pit. The boulders comprised relatively soft mudstone
which fractured easily when struck with the mattock.
