A series of possible fence lines associated with an early Roman timber building were discovered during excavations at Springhead in 2002-2002. A total of three were identified, the first extended southwards from the south-east corner of the building and consisted of a short line of irregularly-shaped post-holes and shallow scoops. To the east was a further, short line of post-holes though their alignment suggests they may have been associated with an early roadside ditch, rather than the building. The third was more irregular, and consisted of a north–south post-hole alignment, but this is less certain. (1)
