Full Description

The south-east corner of a surface-laid building, 2.5m to the north of and parallel with the road 0272, was sealed below the MLS town bank layer 0317. There were post voids in most of the postholes and traces of a floor surface and hearth (0411) with lead residues. In front were surfaces (0413, 0434) of a yard linking the building with roadway 0272, (S1).

This ELS building appears to have survived into the MLS phase 1, at least as ruin. The survival of the postholes as voids implies that the posts, or at least their stumps, must have been left in situ, either cut off at ground level or incorporated within the later town bank in order to have survived as voids.
