Post Hole Group

 
 

Discussion

A group of eight post holes located immediately to the north-east of post hole structure 002CC00653 and to the west of Grubenhaus 002CC01890. The post holes are indicative of a structural arrangement and are deep, up to 52 cm in depth with a mean of 29 cm, in comparison to those relating to the adjacent post-hole structure, which have a mean depth of 17 cm. They possibly form a fence-line associated with the post hole structure. All eight post holes lie below spit 002CC00018 and are cut into chalk natural.
