Miscellaneous Post Holes

 
Phasing

Discussion

 A group of post holes in central 11BD/CD, in the west side of enclosure 011CD20002. Some of the post holes were excavated in the 1991 season (11BD) but the majority were excavated in the 1992 season (11CD). A few lines of posts can be interpreted, especially clear is a line of east/west aligned posts beginning with 011CD05301 in the west, ending with 011CD05299 in the east. This follows the line of shallow slot 011CD05307 but the relationship between the two features was not established. Post hole 011CD05235 has a direct relationship with similar slot 011BD01616 to the south, again undetermined. Finds from the slot were probably lifted from the environs of the post hole, accounting for the large number of finds lifted from a small post hole. No structure can be determined from the plan of the post holes although the presence of a building in this area cannot be ruled out. The relationship with line of posts 011CD07123 to the east is uncertain although these posts are generally smaller and shallower than the north/south line and may be unrelated. The posts may be the remnants of fence lines, possibly associated with the entrance to Anglian enclosure 011CD20002. However, two of the post holes (011CD05235 and 011CD05305) contained Prehistoric flints, possibly indicating an earlier date for at least some of the posts.
