Notes:   14/4/16
We begin to remove the fill from the western of the two pits abutting the north wall (eastern: 376). There are a number of small roots running through this context, especially against the north wall.
This pit has a different appearance from the pit directly to its east (376-fill) -- it is much more shallow and the sides slope more. There is also a lower concentration of pottery and bone.
There are some large chunks of charcoal in the matrix. There are also several pieces of iron and fragments of a bronze object (handle?)
