Full Description

Context 0040 was a 1.2m long length of foundation trench, 70cm wide and only 10cm deep with a post impression at its south end. Posthole 0037, with 2 Ipswich ware and 1 Thetford ware, lay at its south end. Two other post holes (0015, 0026), at right angles to the others, could also be associated. The lack of pottery in 0040, 0015 and 0026 and the fact that 0040 is almost certainly cut by EMED pit 0017 lends weight to an ELS date. Although speculation, these features could be the heavily truncated remains of a sunken featured building, (S1).
