Context: CH06SR_884
- Fine ashy dark brown soil that (at this point) we believe fills the top of a cut that is filled below by the dark black soil 0877. It certainly covers the black in a section on the SE part of a circular cut [0897] filled by 0877. Does not fill the cut 0897, but it is rather likely some sort of surface associated with metal-working activities.
