Interpretation

    • There is a probable roundhouse marked by ring gully F320 which has been excavated at four points [2473], [2475], [2477], [2479]. The ring gully is not seen on the NW side and by [2479] the cut is difficult to see due to rooting. Internally there are four large posthole that are even spaced and centralised within the ring ditch (F324, F327, F328, F329 & F330). One of these appears to have been recut at a later date though it was difficult to see which cut was original (F328 & F329). 3 smaller postholes were also observed within the ring gully that could be related to the round house (F323, F324 & F325). Two linears cut the ring ditch, a N-S running linear F322 and an E-W running linear F321. A third linear (F335) can be seen near the possible entrance of the roundhouse but no relation can be ascertained. A further 4 posthole were excavated just outside the entrance to the roundhouse and they could possibly relate to the roundhouse (F331, F332, F333 & F334) though there are no relationship. A square pit/posthole was also excavated just outside the entrance of the roundhouse though no relationship could be ascertained.
