Discussion

An unusually shaped Grubenhaus, with two very substantial posts in the east and west. This structure is notable for its relationship with a post hole structure (002CB00251), one of only a few cases of this occurence in the settlement, as well as for its proximity to another Grubenhaus (002M 00501) which also has a relationship with a post hole structure (002M 00500). The small number of finds discovered by the intial cleaning of the Grubenhaus were lifted under the number 002CB00248, although strictly speaking these finds are from fill 002CB00450.
