1:5 Feature 3, was identified as a
significant scatter of ceramic sherds at varying depths
near the middle of the south baulk, stretching over 2
m from west to east in an irregular shape c. 40-50 cm
wide. There was no discernible difference,
however, in the soil color which was reddish brown
(2.5 YR 4/4) as it was in the rest of the unit. There
were sherds from multiple (n=5) ceramic vessels in
this feature, all an orange color, some highly fired, fine
paste vessels. One of the vessels had detailed decoration
including chevron patterns and punctate designs and
combed patterns. The ceramic sherds removed from
this feature include cat.s 74-76, 80, 84, 95, 99, 100
and 101. Other objects found in this feature include
a piece of sandstone (cat. 83), an opaque glass bead
resembling terracotta (cat. 86), a bronze bell fragment
(cat. 91), green glass bead fragments (cat. 96), a quartz
fragment (cat. 97) and a piece of worked sandstone
(cat. 98). Three pieces of charcoal were also removed
from this feature (cat.s 82, 85 and 92). The area where
1:5 F3 was located corresponds with the location of
the anomaly identified by the ground-penetrating
radar survey undertaken in 2017. This feature was c.
54 cm in depth, first appearing at 1121.63 m asl and
terminating at 1121.09 m asl. The bottom of the pit in
which the ceramic sherds were found is undulating,
low to the east then higher in the middle and low again and sherds were found at varying depths within the pit.
