The charcoal layer (layer 5) is diffuse nearest the wall and the charcoal particles occur sporadically along the whole depth of the "pit" depth. This applies however only in the section edge itself and about 0.50 m. in from it. Further in, the layer lies intact, close up against the wall-core. It is not dug through, therefore, except partly, and then the explanation for this may be sought simply in the fact that the spade went deeper in a couple of places than in others.
