Discussion

A possible Grubenhaus in area 2CA which cuts larger structure 002CA07002 to the east and ditch 002CA00162 to the west. The shape of this feature is unclear, it is possibly aligned more east/west due to the presence of a post hole (002CA00674) in the west side that was attributed to this structure. Few finds were recovered from this truncated feature, but of the twenty-seven objects seven were pottery sherds and of those six were of Early Saxon date.
