After study, this cut is tentatively interpreted as part of a group of cuts associated with a hut construction: SUs 93 (fill 94), 259 (fill 260 ) 512 (fill 511), 599 (fill 595) 610 (fill 605) 612 (fill 607) 491 (fill 490) 491, and 182 (fill 169), perhaps representing an original post-hole which has been re-patched many times.

Circular cut in tufo possibly used for holding a dolium. (Pottery found inside may indicate this).
