Abstract

An oval house appeared as a slightly elevated ring of boulders built on a level knoll of bedrock. Seven phases were identified: phase 1 site preparation; phase 2 construction; phase 3 - use of house; phase 4 - abandonment; phase - re-use; phase 6 - second abandonment; phase 7 - modern features. An undated D-shaped enclosure was found in Trench B while a length of enclosure dyke was found in Trench C.
