This structure was 119cm deep at the centre, the deepest structure recorded on the settlement site. The sides were steep with the upper part cut into hill-wash and the lower part and base cut into sand and gravel natural. A large number of unfired loom-weights were recovered from the base of the structure, the majority from the north side (at the base of fill 012AD08340). A small layer of cess (012AD08339) was present in the centre of the hollow, just above the base. Three fills present in the south half of the section were stained red with daub-rich material (012AD00273, 012AD08033 and 012AD08244) and appear to have been tipped from the southern side. Much of the northern side comprised of redeposited natural fills (012AD08322, 012AD08325 and 012AD08340). One large, deep post hole was recovered from the east side (012AD08471) although an opposing one in the west side is also probable. The west side of the structure was never fully excavated. The south side of the structure was slightly over-cut during excavation due to the similarity of the redeposited fills in the north side and the sand and gravel natural in the south. The diagnostic finds were a mixture of late Roman and Anglian date.
