Discussion

A NE/SW aligned Grubenhaus in the south of area 2DD, one of only two Grubenhauser in this area. The structure is immediately to the west of ovate pit 002DD00044. A moderate amount of finds were recovered from the single fill, excavated under four quadrant numbers. One post hole, in the north/east side, was visible.
