Discussion

A large rectangular structure with post holes measuring from 20 cm to 30 cm in diameter. Many of the post holes were shallow due to severe plough truncation. The structure is associated with a Grubenhaus (002CC01888) 220 cm in length in the western side, although stratigraphic relationship is indeterminable. The exact positioning of the entrances is unclear, but the structure is likely to have had two centrally opposing doors in the long walls. The post holes in the long walls can all be paired across the structure. All the measurements and dimensions rely on assuming that the single post to the east is a last shallow survivor of the eastern wall, all truncated by plough damage. A group of three post holes just outside the south-west corner of the structure may indicate some repairs in this area. The function of the group of nine post holes to the north of the structure (002CC00660) is unclear but might form an associated fence-line.
