Discussion

A large, sub-square Grubenhaus in area 11AA, immediately to the east of smaller structure 011AA00042. Five fills were identified during excavation, including a circular deposit (011AA00058) which may have been a pit cut into the Grubenhaus deposits. Two small post holes were recovered from under the baulks but were not issued with context numbers.
