Notes:		Cut Context 399 is a small, round cut for a pit or post hole, cut into the yet unexcavated working surface revealed during the excavation of fill context 389. The pit is only 14cm away from Wall Context 20 (the N wall of the church), which seems like a rather odd location for a post, but its fill (a deep red silty sand with minimal inclusions) appears composed of decayed organic material. We sent the fill for flotation.
