Discussion

An east/west aligned post hole structure in the south of area 12AC. The east side post holes were recovered after a layer of turf material (master 012AC09503) was removed. The north/west corner of the structure cut through pebble surface 012AC00130 and stone setting 012AC00129. The pit present on the north wall (012AC00285) is likely to be a series of post hole re-cuts with the latest cut 012AC00289 on the west side. Two post holes on the outside of the east wall (012AC00263 and 012AC00315) may have formed a small annex or lean-to. The pit 012AC00258 to the east may also have been associated with this structure. The structure has a line of four small internal post holes off-centre in the west side; possibly indicating the presence of a partition wall.
