Discussion

 A small, east/west aligned Grubenhaus in central 12AD. The east side of the structure cut through enclosure ditch 012AD07218. The structure is surrounded by post holes forming post hole structure 012AD01001. 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). Five fills were distinguishable during excavation. The west side post hole (012AD00941) was recovered, the east side post hole was not excavated. Approximately 20 unfired clay loom-weights were recovered from the base of the structure, all within the north/west quadrant.
