Six post holes were recovered from the base of the structure. The two opposing in the east and west ends (012AD05860 and 012AD05488, respectively) are typically structural and can be firmly associated with the structure. The remaining four are more problematic and could be connected with the earlier structures on either side. The vast majority of pottery from the structure is of 4th Century date and a 4th Century coin of Valens was also present in the upper fill. These early finds are indicative of the increased amount of Roman activity in the south of the site. The upper fill was also characterised by the higher concentration of animal bones.
