Discussion

The post-holes in this area were excavated under two different master numbers in the field (2CB1980 and 2CB2080) as it was believed two different structures were present. It now seems more likely that only one structure was there with an alignment of NE/SW, the north-east side of which was partially destroyed during machining. The probable length of the structure is likely to be around 6.00-7.00m, based on evidence of other structures and the likelihood of the two doors present being central in the long walls. The structure may also have had a partition approximately 2.00m in width although this is difficult to determine due to the number of internal posts in the area. One interpretation of these post holes as two structures (002CB01980 and 002CB02080) can be found at the end of the document.
