Post Hole Group

Phasing

All of the diagnostic material found were later Roman pot sherds, all of which came from a single post hole (012AD06096).

Discussion

There were no obvious stuctures apparent within this group of 21 post holes, although at least part of a possible rectangular enclosure can be discerned. They could be related to three more obvious lines of post holes (012AD07070, 012AD07072 and 012AD07200), all on the western side of the dry valley. All of these post holes were located on the eastern side of the dry valley, and most were thus cut into hillwash. Generally, the post holes had a U-shaped profile, although a number of them had a definite V profile.
