- Context
- Feature 3, a circular, saucer shaped, basin house depression with abundant FCR placed primarily around the W periphery. It was initially exposed ca. 8 cm bmgs, and meas 330 x 375 cm, 18 cm deep at its deepest part. It had evently sloping walls. The E edge was considerably disturbed by a large, live juniper and its root system, along with some sheet erosion.. Feature fill was darkly stained soil with charcoal and 690 pieces of FCR weighing 69.75 kg. Six depressions were located within or along the edges of the feature, the majority along the SE edge. Some of these may have been superstructure support holes. A burned soil area was in the central part of the house basin (either a fire hearth or support post remains). No FCR or charcoal was present around the feature. However, patches of reddened soil were found throughout the feature fill (burned daub?). It appears that the structure was burned after abandonment. All 3 Rosegate points are assoc. with this feature. Also from the fill: 99 flakes, 90 charred bone frags., 40 uncharred bone frags., pine charcoal, 1 charred gosefoot seed 3 juniper seeds, pine bark scale, vitrified plant tissue.
