Post Hole Group

Phasing

There were very few finds from the majority of the post holes. The exceptions were 002CB001460 (a flint blade), 002CB01462 (which contained beaker sherds, Romano-British sherds and an Anglian sherd), and 002CB01506, which contained five Anglian pot sherds. The implications are that either 002CB01460 and 002CB01462 are prehistoric pits, or that they are cutting down into an earlier surface, with the prehistoric material thus being residual.

Discussion

This group of 21 post holes, located on the gravel some 30 metres to the east of the stream channel, did not form any discernible structure, although short lines of three or four posts area visible. The area was quite badly plough truncated, which might explain the loss of some post holes altogether. However, immediately to the north and north-east were two post hole structures  (002M 00500 and 002M 00502) which were present in their entirety.
