A shallow pit (012AD05060) was cut by post hole 012AD05094; one of eight post holes recovered from the base of the structure. Four of the post holes form a line down the south side of the hollow. A deep, square post hole (012AD05062) in the west side probably held a pile-driven square post. A similar post hole may have been present under the baulk in the east side. A small amount of probable post packing was present in the south/west quadrant. A compacted area of pebbles (012AD05063) was noted in the south/east quadrant, above the primary silty fill, 012AD05091. The structure contained ten visible fills with a marked variation in material and inclusion content (see sections).
