Full Description

Only the north-east corner of this sunken featured building was excavated on the west side at the north of the site. There were no useful stratigraphic relationships to other features to confirm its date as it was only cut by three LMT pits (0702, 0736, 0829).
Although only a small part of the structure was exposed, post holes were recorded around the outer edge of the base of the sunken feature indicating a building despite the unevenness of the base. No length or width measurements are possible but the pit was cut to a depth of up to 1.5m below the surface of the natural. Only two post holes of the east wall were recorded: a linear north-east corner post (0849) and a post hole 1.6m to the south (0850). Three post holes in the north wall were recorded, but they were not in a straight line. Post hole 0848 was set back further than the other two (0847, 0849), which lay parallel with the north edge of the building, (S1).
