Objects dispersed in red-clay fill uncovered in removal of modern staircase. A broken drain tile "immediately above" this area suggested to the excavator that the deposit may have been washed in. Pottery from the fill is a mixture: much 4th c. but also later material. The excavator recorded" some indications of burning" within the fill, and some of the pottery is burnt. No bone was recorded. | |
