Description

A small area excavated to the south-west of the main area of excavations. Area C31081 revealed the remains of a small number of pits, along with the partial continuation of a ditch, observed in an earlier phase of excavation. None of the other features with the potential to continue into the area had survived, due to disturbance caused by the root network of a large tree and its subsequent removal.
