Post Hole Group

Phasing

The only diagnostic finds all came from 002CB01811, which was classified as a non-feature by the excavator. In the light of three Anglian sherds, sandstone fragments, a charcoal sample and 2 cattle and 2 sheep/goat bones, it seems more likely that this represents the remains of a ploughed out pit. The only other finds were six animal bones from feature 002CB01805., which is also likely to be a pit, rather than a post hole. The location and typology place these post holes in the Anglian period.

Discussion

This was group of 21 post holes, cutting through the buried soil deposit in the centre of area 2CB. It may be that they represent two distinct features, part of a rectangular structure and a NW-SE oriented line of posts. It is also possible that they form a double line of posts, associated in some way with masters 002CB07074 and 002CB07075, located immediately to the west.
