Discussion

An unusual, north/south aligned structure in the north of area 11BC and immediately to the west of east/west aligned structure 011BC10004. The plan is partially obscured by the presence of a line of post holes, possibly a fence line, running approximately NNE/SSW through the structure (master 011BC10006). A small L shaped trench in the north/west corner is probably associated with this building (011BC00370) as is a line of three post holes (011BC00306, 011BC00326 and 011BC00328) to the south of fence line 011BC10006. These posts probably divided the structure into roughly equal halves. The west side of the building is unclear and few post holes could be determined to form the long wall.
