Full Description

This sunken featured building, 2.8m long, 1.85m wide, and 40cm deep, lay at right angles to, and 9m east of the Foundation Street at the north end of the site. The evidence indicates two phases of build. The first phase building appears to have been dirt-floored but the second phase building had a clay floor, 15cm above the base of the pit. The ceramic assemblage in its final fill implies abandonment early in the 11th century, especially as it was cut by a sequence of EMED pits, (S1).
