Full Description

Two parallel, east-west lines of post holes across the middle of the site probably represent the fragmentary remains of a surface laid building.
The north wall comprised eight postholes (0039, 0069, 0070, 0072, 0073, 0074, 0327, 0328).
The south wall comprised twenty two postholes (0281, 0282, 0283, 0284, 0293, 0294, 0296, 0308, 0311, 0358, 0359, 0362, 0365, 0374, 0393, 0406, 0434, 0435, 0436, 0437, 0438, 0441).
An internal, north-south partition comprised four postholes (0100, 0271, 0272, 0280) with an adjacent hearth (0108), filled with burnt sand.
Both external walls appeared to comprise a double line of posts.
Four postholes in the south wall (0282, 0435, 0362, 0365) produced a total of seven Ipswich ware sherds between them.
Postholes 0327 and 0328 were cut by MLS pit 0104. There were no certain MS pits within the area of the building but there were two ELS pits (0102, 0097) and posthole 0393 was cut by ELS pit 0277.
The conclusion must be that the building is most likely of MS date, (S1).
