Line of Post Holes

Phasing

The only diagnostic find was a late Roman pot sherd, although this could be derived from the ditch fill (012AB00302), which all of the post holes cut. However, only animal bones were recovered from the ditch, so this remains uncertain.


Discussion

This was a line of posts with the same east-west alignment as ditch 012AB00302. They are thus probably a replacement fence line for this phase of the enclosure system. The only finds were from the easternmost post hole (012AB00876), which was much larger than the others, and may have been associated with the small pit 012AB00878 immediately to the south.
