Discussion

A Grubenhaus in the east of area 11BC, immediately to the south/east of fire pit 011BC00505. This structure is one of four Grubenhaüser in the immediate area. The southern half of the structure was truncated by a machine trial trench, therefore the north/south dimension in the above table is approximate only. The structure was also slightly over-cut on the east side during excavation. No post holes were distinguishable during excavation.
