Line of Post Holes

Phasing

Diagnostic material culture was recovered from four of the post holes (012AD08929, 012AD08931, 012AD08963 and 012AD08965), in total 7 late Romano-British pot sherds. The posts appear to respect the line of enclosure ditch 012AD07221, which contained predominantly Roman material, including a coin. However, a single Anglian sherd was also found in the ditch fill. Apart fom being sealed by spit 012AD08743, the post holes had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

A  line of at least five posts, aligned NW-SE, which appeared to follow a line along the eastern edge of enclosure ditch 012AD07221. The length of the line is approximately 7.3m, although further post holes to the north (012AD07234) also seem to respect the line of the enclosure ditch. The fills were a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with no daub flecking. Charcoal was present only in 012AD08935.

The posts holes were generally round with a U-shaped profile, and were cut into hillwash.
