Discussion

Four east/west aligned furrows of a medieval rig and furrow system in the south of area 2DB. A further furrow (002DB00156) in the north of the area and master 002DA07046 in area 2DA are probably contemporary. Three of the furrows cut Grubenhaus structures (002DB00013, 002DB00015 and 002DB00017). It is possible that the plough furrows 002DB00028 also belong to this period as they are on the same alignment, but they were believed to be modern at the time of excavation.
