A large spread of stones on the eastern half of area 11BD/CD. The stones were first visible in 1991 (11BD) where they were issued with context 011BD00755 and master number 011BD10012. The stones were planned and then removed in 1992 (11CD) as master 011CD20000. The stones were removed and 2 spits (011CD05444 and 011CD05577) were taken across the area, revealing several features (see matrix). The setting comprised of mainly chalk with some chert, varying in size from 1cm to 30cm in length. Some of the stones showed evidence of burning. Further spreads of stones to the south post-date the enclosure ditches in the south/east corner of the area and may be associated with the stones in this master. The function of these stones is unknown; it is possible they are structural remnants especially as small clusters of stones may represent post-pads. As the setting post-dates many Anglian features it could be either Medieval or post-Medieval in date.
