Discussion

A large, NE/SW aligned post hole structure in the north of area 12AD. A small depression in the east side (012AD00299) was excavated although this is probably a natural feature. A north/south line of five post holes down the centre of the structure probably divided the interior into two roughly equal halves. The majority of the fills contained chalk post packing, seventeen of the twenty-nine post holes with remaining surface post packing. The position of the entrances is not clear, one is possible in the centre of the south long wall, immediately to the west of the internal line of posts.
