SUERC-2094
A piece of alder charcoal (Sample 2491) from an early Neolithic pit 6471, sealed by a layer of peat running beneath the henge bank, cut into sandy subsoil and filled with sandy material. The pit contained worked flints and carinated bowl pottery. The fragments of charcoal were incorporated into the (deliberate?) backfilling of the pit. If this were from firewood, it is unlikely that it was very old when it entered this matrix.
