Short Description:
Fill of possible posthole in shed area
Issued to

Interpretation

    • Good sized posthole that looks to be roughly in the middle of shed area. Of all the features excavated so far in this area, this is the deepest. The inclusion of the large stone in the full is notable - perhaps a post pad or packing for the post.
