Discussion

A rectangular structure with no substantial corner post-holes present. Alignment is east/west and post-holes average 0.20m in diameter except for a small group on the south long wall. The position of the doors is unclear, possibly two offset opposing in the long walls. Small, irregular lines of posts make up the long walls, a few of which appear to be paired across the building. The absence of corner posts gives a slightly bowed shape to the end walls. Unusual amounts of pig bone were recovered from the area of the structure.
