Discussion

A large, regular Grubenhaus in the south of area 11AC. The structure lies to the south/west of pit 011AE00067 but is otherwise in an area devoid of features. Two post holes were recovered during excavation, the west side (011AC00066) had a deep, steep-sided profile. The east end post hole was not issued with a context number. The single fill contained a 4th century silver Denarius.
