Description One of the postholes partially excavated during 2001 season. This one was found to have a diameter of 1.7metres and had contained a post about 0.5metres in diameter. Some of the packing stones for the post are visible to either side of the pit, whilst the charcoal remains of the base of the post can be seen to middle. All the pits of the terminal exhibited a similar sequence, erection of huge posts packed with stone, which were then burnt in situ, pulled over, removed & the voids filling up with burnt material.
