What is recorded here

Originally recorded as two hurdle panels. Excavation in 2002 revealed that the panels (exposed L 5m; Wth 2m) were connected by a roundwood, aligned N-S, that was incorporated into the weave of each panel. The N panel (2m E-W; 2m N-S) was constructed of four sails, aligned E-W, around which the rods were woven. The S panel (3m N-S; 2m E-W) comprised five sails, aligned N-S, with interwoven rods. The platform lay 0.05-0.25m above a structure (LF022-076001-) but the two do not appear to have been connected. A date range of 400-200 BC was obtained (Whitaker 2009, 62). Compiled by: Mary Tunney based on data supplied by Jane Whitaker, Archaeological Development Services. Date of upload: 26 August 2011
