Post Hole Group

Phasing

The only finds from the fills of these post holes were five animal bones. If these posts holes represent the north-eastern half of a post hole structure, then they are Anglian in date.

Discussion

This was group of 24 post holes, located towards the southern central part of area 2CB. They appear to represent the northern and eastern walls of a post hole structure, with Medieval rig and furrow responsible for removing the southern post holes. Unusually, a number of these post holes were square in plan, rather than the more usual circular or ovate shapes.
