Line of Post Holes

 
Phasing

Discussion

A line of NW/SE aligned post holes in central 11CD. Twenty post holes are present in this master, including a large post hole or small pit (011CD05002) in the north which is on the same alignment and is likely to be part of the same structure. A post hole in the north/west terminus of slot 011CD05012 is also likely to be associated with this line but was not issued with a separate context number during excavation. The large amount of animal bone claiming to be from post hole 011CD05695 is probably erroneous as the context numbers record no finds (the wrong context number is likely to have been used when lifting the finds). Several lines of similarly aligned post holes are present in this area; 011CD07123 to the west and 011CD07118 and 011CD07120 to the east. All are probably remnants of fence lines.
