Post Hole Group

 
 

Discussion

A group of nine post holes located c.300 cm to the south-east of post hole structure 002CC00489. The post holes appear to be associated and are indicative of a structural arrangement or fence-lines, consisting of four post holes in a line on a bearing of 75 degrees from north and a row of three to the south of, and roughly perpendicular with, the former. The post holes are shallow, varying between 8 - 19 cm in depth, which might suggest that further examples have been destroyed. The survival of the post holes which comprise structure 002CC00489, which is at a similar elevation to this post hole group, does suggest that that this configuration is not entirely the result of plough truncation. All nine post holes lie below spit 002CC00018 and are cut into chalk natural.
