Abstract: |
Tan pits survived up to the point of the boundary wall adjacent to the site. The tanks were fully lines and floored with timber. This proved, rather surprisingly, to be oak. The timbers were thick boards, 30cm broad and 3.4cm thick. Each corner of the pieces was covered by a triangular piece of timber. The pits were filled with large quantities of sodden, shredded oak bark with a small quantity of rubble and clay on top. A few pieces of hemp rope and a sack made of hemp or jute were also found.
