Description
- CH05SR0571
- Fill below slabs in Tomb 4
- Loose brown soil with inclusions (pottery, tile fragments, animal bones and smaller stones). On NE side edge of this fill is irregular cut in bedrock, SE edge is stone construction of Tomb 5, on SW side large head stone of Tomb 4 and on NW side stone slabs (context number 719). We didn't excavate this context completellt for it goes below stone slabs (connection with 669) and also towards SW - below head stone of Tomb 4. But in excavated section we came to bedrock. Dimensions are 1m (NW) x 0.80m (SW) x 1.20m (SE) and irregular on NE side.
- This context is good for dating and probably equals con.no. 669. Maybe it is connected with building og Tomb 5. Context is not closed.

Interpretation
-
- Same cut (context number 670) is used for fill 571 and 669. Preliminary dating from ceramic and four coins that were found in this small area will maybe give dating of building of Tomb 5 (possible connection of this cut and fill with construction of Tomb 5).
