Discussion

A large group of post holes in the south of area 11BA. This document includes all of the post holes in the area between enclosures 011BA07129 and 011BA07130, excluding a line of east/west aligned post holes issued with a separate master during excavation (011BA00653). Several lines of post holes can be postulated in this area, generally aligned east/west and probably the remnants of fence lines. The area also contains several short ditches and slots (containing structural evidence), possibly blocking, or forming entrances into, the main enclosure (011BA07130). Four post holes were excavated but not issued with context numbers.
