In reply to the bored invisible one...One located point not much good. That MoLAS sheet could just swivel all over the place!
If a context goes over your grid unit it gets labelled e.g. 456a, 456b etc, with a 2d plan matrix to show their spatial arrangement.
I only record sections if they tell me something. Routine half-sectioning is an annoying habit that many archaeologists cannot give up. It has become anathema to not section in many units, but if you think about it most section drawings just illustrate dimensions.
Generally wouldn't bother planning a fill deposit, just cuts and positive features (wall, layer etc). There are exceptions.
