Discussion

A large east/west aligned post hole structure in area 11BC, immediately to the south/east of Grubenhaus 011BC07018. The structure may have been divided into two roughly equal parts by a row of three post holes in the middle. However, the central post hole of the three is much deeper than the other two and may be more structural than evidence of a partition. Many of the post holes are double, especially in the north and south walls of the west half of the structure. One clear doorway is apparent in the centre of the south long wall although a northern doorway is also probable. The definition of the east short wall is marred by the presence of solution material and a possible re-cut (011BC00623). The structure may have had an internal partition in the east side (post holes 011BC00544 and 011BC00550) but the evidence is not conclusive. Several external post holes are associated with this building and are possible evidence of shoring, especially in the south/east corner.
