Discussion

 The north and east sides of a probable fenced enclosure in the north/east of area 12AD. The master comprises of fourteen small post holes in the north side, approximately 18.5m long and eight post holes in the east side approximately 9.8m long. The master also includes a few post holes to the east as they may have been associated with the fence structure. A further couple of post holes in the north side were not issued with context numbers (one in the depression 012AD00011 and one to the north/west of pit (012AD00123). A small line of east/west aligned post holes to the south of slot 012AD00046 may be the remnants of the south side of the enclosure. Similarly, a few small north/south aligned stakeholes cut into ditch 012AD01004 may indicate the west side. The enclosure appears to surround a group of post holes (master 012AD07083, a north/south line of post holes, and master 012AD07085, an irregular group of post holes) which possibly form a post hole structure. It appears from the alignments of the posts in this area that they are contemporary although a depression filled with material in the east side indicates that the posts in this master pre-date the north/south line of posts (012AD07083) as they lie under layer 012AD00089 whilst the posts of 012AD07083 are cut into it. Some of the posts in the east side of the fence line were cut into chalk deposit 012AD00180, probably the primary fill of the depression. Post hole 012AC00386 in the south/east corner was cut through the side of slot 012AD00346 and through decayed pebble surface 012AD00364.
