What is recorded here
Originally recorded as a substantial structure (exposed L 2m; Wth 2.43m) of longitudinal and transverse roundwood, brushwood (diam. 0.015-0.085m) and pegs. Excavation revealed that it was most likely the remains of a platform, aligned NNW-SSE, which was greatly disturbed by modern drainage works. A date range of AD 680-900 was obtained (Whitaker 2009, 73).
