SUERC-2106
A piece of hazel charcoal (Sample 1063) from the uppermost fill 004 of a large pit 050 cut into natural gravel near to the innermost ring of the Later Neolithic enclosure. This feature produced numerous sherds of Grooved Ware and Beaker pottery and fill 004 represents part of a deliberate backfill containing what seem to be placed deposits of material culture. Backfilling was presumably prompt, and the extensive range of charcoal from the context probably relates to this event.
