Discussion

A very deep Grubenhaus located in the central north part of area 12AD. At 109cm deep, this Grubenhaus is the second deepest structure excavated in the settlement (the deepest was Grubenhaus 012AD08030 at 119cm). The structure cut through a layer of material to the west (012AD08004) and slot 012AD01014 to the east. Eight fills were identified during excavation. A small, deep post hole in the east side of the building was recovered (012AD08324). A west side post hole is probable in the unexcavated quadrant. The northern part of the structure remained unexcavated as it was partially located under the current trackway to Rectory Farm. Well over half of all the finds and animal bones recovered came from the final infilling of the feature (012AD08007).
