Figures

The following images have been made available as screen-resolution JPGs.

W/Fig. 1.1. Early Iron Age hearths, a pot and postholes were the earliest features on the site. These deposits were at least 0.30m deep, and were not fully excavated so that they can be examined again by future researchers. JPG

W/Fig. 1.3. Stone Roundhouse (1) during excavation. With the outline of the walls becoming so clear, it was decided to take bulk samples of the deposits inside the house because of the unusual opportunity that they presented to find out about the different functions that might have taken place in different parts of the building.

W/Fig. 1.4. Stone roundhouse after excavation, looking from the east through the paved entrance; the stones in this part are bleached from exposure because that area was excavated two seasons before the rest (the yellow stones on the left are not part of the original site, but had been brought in for backfilling, to protect the site for the future).

W/Fig. 1.5. The southern half of the stone roundhouse floor, looking from the west towards the entrance. A round hearth can be seen on the left, with a patch of flagstones beyond. The upright slabs mark a partly curved partition. Some of the foundation stones of the main wall of the house had been removed, but its line is clearly shown by the small stones of the floor. JPG

W/Fig. 1.6. Grave 232 had been dug into the roundhouse after it had been abandoned, though probably while its walls could still be seen. The skeleton is of a middle-aged male. W/Fig.1.4 shows the empty grave, which was quite shallow, inside the wall of the house, on the right. JPG

W/Fig. 1.7. Grave 209 was outside the roundhouse. It also contained a middle-aged male, buried in the same crouched position, but on his right side, not, left, side. W/Fig. 1.4. shows the emptied grave, on the edge of the paving. There was a drilled stone near the head, perhaps for some sort of marker. The flagstone closest to the other grave had also been drilled through - see W/Fig. 1.5. The two burials are almost mirror images of each other. JPG

W/Fig. 1.10. A closer view of the grain-drier. The stoke pit for a fire is on the right; hot air was sucked into the flues through the cross-wall; two of the flues can be seen, but the third one still has the slab stones that formed its ceiling, and were the floor on which the grain for 'parching' was spread. The rectangular slot acted as a chimney. JPG

W/Fig. 1.12. From the east, the remains of the wall that separated the drying-chamber from the barn can be seen; the upright slabs set in it were presumably for the loading hatch through which the grain was put in, and taken out when it had been dried. The floor originally had two layers of slabs, so it was important for the heat to be evenly distributed and for the grain not to reach a very high temperature. JPG

W/Fig. 1.16. The grain-drier in the barn went out of use and was covered over by a rough stone floor. The barn seems to have remained in use for a time, but eventually its floor was also covered over by a rough spread of small stones. This may have happened after the barn had been dismantled down to ground level, to make an open-air cobbled yard. JPG

W/Fig. 1.17. At the east end of the old barn, a single grave was dug. The skeleton was probably female, but most of the body was destroyed when a pit was dug through the west half of the grave. After that, the site seems to have been used only as a field. JPG
