Discussion

 A small, badly plough truncated Grubenhaus in the south of area 12AC, immediately to the north of structure 012AC09506. The structure survived to a maximum depth of 20cm, and was cut into the natural chalk with an uneven base. One post hole in either end was recovered; the west side post hole (012AC00300) was visible through the fill of the hollow indicating that the post probably rotted in situ. The Grubenhaus contained very few finds.
