Top Separation Clear

Bottom Separation Clear

Start Date 19 July, 1984

End Date 24 July, 1984

Interpretation

Function Semi-circular wall installation of uncertain function; connects with one small opening near E balk; little pottery & significant amount of bones within the structure indicates it may have been used as an animal pen

Stratigraphy remarks Placed over a thin layer of compact earth (L 8); was prob laid down to even out bedrock & then the stones were laid on them; L 8 also seals against it, as do 5, 7 & 9, all layers within the structure, thus, giving them a later date
