Narrative

    • A ring ditch, probably for a round house located in the 'car park' trench area of trench 2. Two lengths of the ring ditch was seen, the north western part of the ring ditch was probably truncated away over time, the ditch is fairly ephemeral. The ring ditch had an 8m diameter, one length of the gully was 12.90m long and there was another 2.65m length seen. It had a maximum width of 0.35m and a maximum depth of 0.15m. Internally there are four large postholes that are evenly spaced and centralised within the ring ditch (F324, F327, F328, F329 & F330). One of these appears to have been recut at a later date though it was difficult to see which cut was original (F328 & F329). 3 smaller postholes were also observed within the ring gully that could be related to the round house (F323, F324 & F325). Two linears cut the ring ditch, a N-S running linear F322 and an E-W running linear F321. A third linear (F335) can be seen near the possible entrance of the roundhouse but no relation can be ascertained. A further 4 posthole were excavated just outside the entrance to the roundhouse and they could possibly relate to the roundhouse (F331, F332, F333 & F334) though there are no relationship. A square pit/posthole was also excavated just outside the entrance of the roundhouse though no relationship could be ascertained.
