Discussion

Unusually shaped in the west, this is almost certainly a function of site deformation processes, and may relate to a collapsed side. With Grubenhaus 002CB01262, the fills from this Grubenhaus contained a higher percentage of Anglian pot sherds than other Grubenhäuser in the immediate area.
