Full Description

This group of postholes survived in a small area surrounded by LMT pits (0033, 0435, 0463, 0494). It comprised a line of four post holes (0504, 0505, 0509, 0510), orientated NE/SW, with the remnant of a slightly burnt clay surface to the west (0535) and two postholes (0507, 0508) running NW from 0509. There were two further post holes (0502, 0506/0536) outside of the two lines.
The base of the structure appeared to be slightly sunken, but no by more than 15-20cm. They probably represent the north-east corner of a surface laid building.
There was only one sherd of pottery associated with the structural features (Ipswich ware from posthole 0508). The fill (0498) above the floor was of ELS date (59 sherds of Ipswich ware and 30 sherds of Thetford ware), but this could not be securely associated with the structure, (S1).
