Discussion

A large, shallow feature immediately to the north east of post hole structure 002CC00653. It was recorded as a possible grubenhaus in the field although, if so, it is heavily truncated. The feature, unusually, contained four post holes in total, three on the north east side and one on the south west. It contained relatively few animal bone finds but moderate amounts of objects, these of predominantly Early Saxon date.
