Discussion

An interpretation of a group of post holes in the south of area 2CB. It is possible the structure extends a further metre to the west and has another internal partition, but the shorter length is more likely considering the position of the doors and the unusual ratio of 3.2:1 of the larger structure. It is possible that this structure has some kind of annex (200 x 145cm) on the west side of the south wall although this is by no means certain and has not been included in the catalogue. This structure is likely to be contemporary with north/south structure 002CB07037 as they are on the same alignment. It overlaps with structure 002CB07039, aligned at 66 degrees. There is no evidence to suggest which structure was earliest.
