Discussion

An irregularly shaped Grubenhaus in central 2CA to the west of furrows (Master 002CA01128.) Aligned approximately east/west, the structure was quite steep sided with a slightly concave base cut into sand natural. A trench was cut through the centre of the structure but failed to reveal any post holes. No sections were drawn.
