Post Hole Group

Phasing

Almost all of the diagnostic material found were later Roman pot sherds. A single Roman sherd was recovered from the fills of post hole 012AD08596. Unusually, all of the other finds came from feature 012AD08625, which contained five Roman sherds, burnt daub and also a single Anglian sherd.

Discussion

It is possible that this group of post holes relates to the south-western corner of a much larger structure or enclosure, although no further evidence for this was found. All of the post holes had a U-shaped profile..
