Discussion

A small, east/west aligned structure in the north of area 11BC immediately to the east of north/south aligned structure 011BC10005. Evidence remained on the west short side of a shallow trench with small post holes cut through it, possibly indicative of how the entire structure was built. The structure is on the same alignment as larger post hole structure 011BC10010 to the south/west. Three objects were recovered from post hole 011BC00276, two of which were sherds of Early Saxon pottery.
