C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - SUERC-2099

A piece of oak charcoal (Sample 1105) well sealed in the uppermost fill 010 of a large posthole of the middle post ring of the Later Neolithic enclosure (cut 027). This fill probably represents the post-pipe of a post that rotted out. The fill may be material that tumbled into the post void as the timber rotted out, perhaps from the original packing material but possibly from the overlying soil; in either case the charcoal may have been residual.
