Discussion

A shallow, badly truncated feature believed to be a Grubenhaus. It cuts through slots 002CA00327 and master 002CA00342 to the north but its relationship with pit alignment 002CA00165 was not established. This structure is similar to Grubenhaus 002CA00763 to the north. The feature contained few finds, but five out of the eight sherds of pottery recovered are of Medieval date.
