NY 0806 8251 Two pits were exposed in the section of a service trench cut into garden ground at the rear of the Crown Hotel. Both pits were sealed by 0.4m of garden soil. The N pit measured 1.7m in diameter, was straight-sided, and 1m deep from the existing ground surface. No finds were noted in the dark brown sand and gravelly fill.
The S pit was more amorphous in shape, with sloping sides. It was at least 3m in diameter and at least 0.8m deep. It contained burnt clay lumps, charcoal flecks with some stone and cobbles.
