Description
- Architectural Detail
- Roughly squared oblong block limestone. All sufaces roughly finished. Edges along long sides rectilinear parallel. One end finished to produce sloping/chamfered face. Opposite face appears to have shallow trough (10 cm wide x ca 2 cm deep) applied linking the 2 main faces. To one edge 2 parallel gouges ca 1 cm apart run ca 2/3 the depth of the piece. One main face roughly finished to reasonably flat condition. No obvious feature. Opposite face appears to have been finished to produce a 8 cm wide, 12 cm long, 0.7 cm deep band diagonally transverse to the face. Adjacent to the end of that band in the end of a 9 cm x 4 cm x 2.5 cm deep slot cut in the adjacent long side face.

Context: CH06SR_753
- Layer of loosely packed, medium brown soil, heavy with debris of all types - especially iron nails (50+), pottery sherds, glass fragments and bronze (copper alloy) coinage. This layer was very thick - easily 20cm - and filled the whole of cut 728. There was very little ash or charcoal in this layer, though, as we reached the next context layer, there was an increasing amount of clay lumps in the soil and it became much more compact. There were also very many medium-large stones (many reused).
