Full Description

This surface laid building lay 18m east of road 1590 and was orientated from north to south. It was 7.4m long by 3.8m wide and of individual post hole construction. The south and east walls had been completely removed by pits of MLS and later date.
A possible doorway lay in the west wall between postholes 1501 and 1503.
At the middle point of the north wall, there was a gap in the post holes with post holes 1475 and 1211 returning towards the south, indicating a recess with a hearth (0924) just inside. The roughly oval hearth of fired clay, 1.5m across, had been largely cut away by later (MS) pit 0933. The north wall was cut by MS pit 0998. Three post holes (1200, 1354, 1519) produced a total of 5 sherds of Ipswich ware, (S1).
