Discussion

A small, square structure that possibly replaces the small Grubenhaus 002CB02348 to the south-west. Twenty-one post-holes were recovered which is unusual for a relatively small structure, of 0.20m to 0.40m diameter. The structure has one doorway centrally located in the north-east wall and is aligned NE/SW like the majority of buildings in this area. It has two internal post-holes one of which is aligned both ways across the structure and may have been used for roof support. The structure had no obvious corner posts.
