Post Hole Group

Phasing

No diagnostic material was recovered from these features, the only find being a charcoal sample. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AB00003, the post holes had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

Almost all of these features were severely plough truncated, although enough of a profile remained to demonstrate that a number showed evidence of being double post holes. They do not form any sort of structure, although the location of the short slot 012AB00304 to the north may indicate a similar function (perhaps a pen, or some form of entrance). Four of the post holes contained chalk post packing.
