Summary

During the excavations by exeter archaeology in 1994 two elongated pits 1.8m x 1.1m x0.4m deep were identified to the east of the ditch segment. Both were orientated north south + both contained charcoal with occasional burnt bone + flint. The most easterly also contained a layer of burnt granite just above the base. These features were interpreted as possible graves but a date could not be established (gent+knight).
