1A hole made in the ground, especially to receive the foot of a post in building a fence.
2 Archaeol. A hole dug to receive a post supporting a building or other structure.
  • In most cases such holes were dug for timber posts, later decayed, but the packing of supporting stones or clay around the post and the pattern of postholes on the same site may be used to deduce information about the type of structure originally supported..
