Full Description

Site A5, the floor of which was an almost circular saucer of clay, 8ft by 8ft 6", rising on the E into what was left of a clay wall-bank; spaced nearly equally round this were six small stake-holes, 4" square and 9" deep, which had held the light wooden uprights supporting the wattle and daub walls and presumably a domed roof. <1>
