?Fence Line

Phasing

Discussion

A possible fence line cut into chalk immediately to the south of a round house (002CA00271). Thirteen features were recovered and assigned this master, some recorded as possible solution holes and not as post holes. However, this line of posts is probably a reality as it was seen in the pre-excavation plan and follows a straight line. Solution holes may well have formed in the holes and produced the solution material recovered during excavation. All the post holes were heavily truncated and no finds were recovered from any of the features.
