Discussion

A large group of post holes and solution holes surrounding Grubenhauser 002CA00089 and 002CA07000. It possibly forms some sort of post hole structure and is similar to 002CA07041 further north. Any further definition is not possible as many of the features were considered to be solution holes. Indeed, only three finds were recovered from all 30 features assigned to this master number.
