Discussion

A north/south aligned Grubenhaus in the north of area 11CE. This structure was the latest feature in the vicinity and it cut through many phases of activity. The structure cut through the stone footing of a round house (011CE20001), enclosure ditch 011CE20011  and three slots to the west (011CE00603, 011CE00605 and 011CE00789). A pit in the north/west corner of the structure (011CE00777) was also found to pre-date the structure. Three post holes were associated with this building; two opposing in the north (011CE00679) and south (011CE00916) ends and one just off-centre halfway between the two (011CE00677).
