What is recorded here

On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. No visible trace of houses above ground, though visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI May 1977 R. 594/S. 691). House almost entirely excavated (Excavation number E00455) in 1987-1991 (Doody 2007, 26-28, Structure 6). Sub-rectangular in plan (diam. 3.4m N-S; 4.4m E-W), defined by foundation trenches and post-holes (ibid. 26-27). A gap (Wth 0.43m) in the foundation trench on the E side together with an inturned terminal suggests an E-facing entrance (ibid. 26). There were a number of internal stake-holes and pits (27-28). This house overlies house (TS087-007007-) and adjoins house (TS087-007004-) immediately to NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 20 November 2013
