Discussion

 A small, irregularly shaped Grubenhaus in the south of area 12AD. Two post holes were recovered, one in the west side (012AD05470) and one in the south (012AD05472). The structural details table, above, has the dimensions recorded for a north/south aligned structure as the longest axis is north/south, but the alignment of the structure is not certain. It is possible the building was aligned east/west as the south side post hole is unconvincing and it is possible that the east side was never fully excavated. An east/west alignment of 66 degrees is also more typical of the structures in this area. Two daub deposits were present in the structure, 012AD05404 and 012AD05439.
