Line of Post Holes

Phasing

Two post holes from this line (012AD06099 and 012AD06105) contained unusual numbers of objects (8 sherds and 11 sherds of later Romano-British pottery respectively). Both of these features were slightly larger than the others in the line, and could be small pits rather than post holes.

Discussion

A possible east/west aligned line of post holes in the central part of area 12AD. It may be related to the group 012AD07258 to the north.
