Post Hole Group

Phasing

No finds were recovered from the fills of these post holes. If this group represents the ploughed-out remnants of a post hole structure then it would be Anglian in date.

Discussion

This group of 14 post holes, located on the gravel some 30 metres to the east of the stream channel, did not form any discernible structure, although the north-eastern half of a 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. Only one post hole (002CB01959), showed any clear evidence of a post pipe.
