What is recorded here

A large subcircular and straight-sided pit (dims 3.58m x 2.66m; D 1.9m) with an access ramp at N, which is located between the fosses of Enclosures A and B at S, is interpreted as a possible well or water-hole. It had seven grey silty clay layers indicative of standing water at the base, and its upper layers were cut by the perimeter of Enclosure D at SW.
