Full Description

This surface laid building lay just east of road 1590 at the south end of the site. It was of post in trench construction. The south wall had been removed by a series of pits (ELS and later). It was 4.7m east-west and survived for 4m north-south.
The north foundation (0872/0899) was continuous with that along the east (0871). The west trench (1298) petered out before reaching the post hole 1309 marking the north-west corner. A number of post impressions were recorded in the base of the trenches (0896, 0908, 0928, 0931, 1261, 1310). There was a row four postholes (0920, 0921, 0922, 0927) on the inner edge of the north trench.
The building cut MS pit 1322 and was cut by ELS pit 1285 and ELS building 5131. The foundations produced 31 sherds of Ipswich ware, confirming the MS date. Boundary fences 5142 and 5143, along the east side of road 1590, defined its western tenement boundary.
(S1).
