Average crystal structures of superconducting Sr{sub 2}CuO{sub 3+{delta}} synthesized at ambient pressure from a hydroxometallate precursor were refined from neutron powder diffraction data. A simplified model was used to fit the modulated superstructures. Both compounds have an oxygen deficient La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4}-type tetragonal T structure with O vacancies located in the CuO{sub 2} planes, not in the Sr{sub 2}O{sub 2} layers. This raises important questions about the superconductivity in Sr{sub 2}CuO{sub 3+{delta}} reported to be a 70 K superconductor
