Post Hole Group

Phasing

Only three finds were recovered from these post holes. A prehistoric pot sherd was recovered from 002CB01836, and animal bones were found in 002CB01865 and 002CB01874. Despite this lack of material culture, these post holes can be placed in an Anglian phase, based on their location and their typology.

Discussion

This group of 22 post holes, cutting through the buried soil deposit, in the cetre of area 2CB, almost all very shallow and plough truncated. Although they area grouped together here in a single master, it is much more likely that they represent two distinct features, a line of posts in a SW-NE alignment, just to the south of Grubenhaus 002CB00046, and a possible rectangular structure to the north-west of Grubenhaus 002CB00243.
