Full Description

Only the north end of this sunken featured building was excavated at the far south end of the excavation. It was cut by EMED pits 0671 and 0729. Its north-east corner had been further truncated by LMT pits 0658 and 0685.
It was mainly recognisable from the existence of a very uneven clay floor (0791), which survived in three areas between the later pits. It had subsided, presumably into an unexcavated earlier feature, along the southern section line. A well-defined, but slightly curved edge survived along its north side, but the north-west corner had been removed by pit 0671. No accurate length or width can be measured but it was 80cm deep below the surface of the natural.
Three post holes (0775, 0790, 0794), not in a straight line, were recorded on the north side. The largest (0790) cut the remnants of a slot (0800) that underlay the clay floor to the south. Only one other post hole (0795) appeared to be associated with the structure at the south end of slot 0800. (S1).
