Discussion

A group of twelve shallow post holes which may have formed a post hole structure, although not defined as such during excavation, or part of two fence-lines. Six post holes in a line might form the north wall of the possible structure and a row of five post holes, parallel to and c.350 cm to the south of the first but offset to the south-west, might form the south wall of a post hole structure which would have a similar orientation to other structures in this area. Other post holes which may have related to the end walls may have been destroyed through plough truncation or, alternatively, may not have penetrated the subsoil. All the post holes were located under spit 002CC00018 and cut into chalk natural.
