Full Description

Very little remained of this possible sunken featured building lying 17m west of road 1825 and 3m south of building 0029 phase 2. The sunken feature was rectangular, flat bottomed, 60-70cm deep and 3.4m long, north-south. Although the east side had been completely removed by the later pits, 1.7m of its width survived (it could not have exceeded 2.7m wide). One posthole (2930) survived at the north end and another (2904), 30cm deep, at the south end.
The pottery associated with 0429 included 4 EMED sherds with 28 Thetford ware.It was cut by a sequence of EMED pits (0035, 2580, 3020) and cut an EMED pit (0311) with 7 EMED sherds and 2 Andenne ware sherds.
Its position in the stratigraphic sequence implies that it belonged to EMED phase 1. The fill was alternate layers of sandy loam and layers of sand with much charcoal which could imply that it had been burnt at the same time as building 0029, (S1).
