Discussion

 A small, badly truncated Grubenhaus in the south of area 12AC, immediately to the south of structure 012AC09505. The structure cut through ditch 012AC00034 to the south. Two post holes were recovered; one from the west side (012AC00308) and one from the centre of the structure (012AC00310). No post hole from the east end was visible. The central post hole contained an unusually high amount of object finds including fired clay, a flint scraper and a perforated chalk disc. Both post holes had chalk post packing present.
