Post Hole Group

Phasing

The only find was a single animal bone from post hole 002CB01450. If this group represents the ploughed-out remnants of a post hole structure then it would be Anglian in date.

Discussion

This group of 19 post holes, located on the gravel some 28 metres to the east of the stream channel, did not form any discernible structure, although a vague rectilinear shape could be inferred. The area was quite badly plough truncated, which might explain the loss of some post holes altogether. However, immediately to the south-west, a post hole structure (002CB02577) was present in its entirety. Two post holes showed clear evidence of a post pipe (002CB01436 and 002CB01444)
