Interpretive Categories: posthole? 

 

Data Category Information: Description: posthole

 

Dimensions: 0.29 x 0.25 x 0.141 

 

Discussion: (3616) represents the cut of a possible post hole, in the N of space 117. It's steeply sloping/overhanging sides supported its interpretation as a post-hole and the direction of the slope at the base, gaver the impression that a post may have been set in it at an angle, going up to the S. However, there were no similar post-holes found at the time of excavation to link with (3616) making any further interpretation impossible. 

 

Recognition: A sharp edge between (3615) and the surrounding mixed material. 

Shape: a slightly sub-circular shape in plan 

Sides: the sides were very steep and overhanging to the N, they sloped more gently to the W (see sketch section) 

Base Break: the base was sloped from W to E on the western half of the cut, to the E it was flatter (almost 90 degrees to the sides) 

Base: the base was flat to the E sloped to the W (as above!) 

Orientation: it appeared as if the base sloped from S to N, the undercutting of the N half of it supports this idea, as if a post slanted from it up to the S? 

All Layers within:it appears that (3615) was the only layer within the cut
