House, medieval

What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of a NE-facing slope and c. 4m SE of St. Vogue's church (WX053-025002-) within the enclosure (WX053-035003-). Excavation (E000143) revealed a rectangular house (ext. dims 5.4m N-S; 4.5m E-W; int. dims 4.8m N-S; 3.3m E-W) defined by the remains of double-faced stone walls (Wth 0.5-1m) that were probably clay-built above the foundations, but its S end is truncated by a later E-W wall. An entrance at E is suggested by additional paving in this area and the recovery of a spud-stone, but there is no evidence of a hearth. The house is associated with fragments of walls sub-dividing the interior of the enclosure. The ceramics associated with this house suggest a later medieval date and they were recovered in deposits with a large content of limpet and periwinkle shells (O’Kelly et al. 1975, 30-4).
