Discussion

A NE/SW aligned post hole structure in central 12AD. The east end post holes of this structure surround east/west aligned Grubenhaus 012AD01002. The relationship between the two structures was not established although it is likely the post hole structure replaced the Grubenhaus (based on known relationships between structures elsewhere on site). A single post hole (012AD00939) was visible in the east side and this cut through the north/south enclosure ditch 012AD07070. Stone setting 012AD08083 appears to respect the north/west corner of the structure and is probably contemporary. A large, double post hole in the centre of the structure (012AD00982) could be structural and/or indicate the position of an internal partition. The doors appear to be centrally located in the long walls with post hole 012AD00980 in the south wall probably functioning as an internal door post.
