Line of Post Holes

Discussion

A north/south aligned line of post holes in the central east of area 11AB. The length of the line is 8.08m. The post holes could be part of a fence line, but this is unlikely given that no other posts were recovered to the north or the south. It is more likely to have been one of the long walls of a post hole structure, with the remaining three walls remaining undetected. Only 011AB00926 and 011AB00946 were greater in depth than 20cm, with all of the other post holes being very shallow. It may be that they were truncated by medieval ploughing. No dating evidence was recovered from any of the post holes, indeed only two (011AB00924 and 011AB00928) contained any finds at all, and these were all cattle bones.
