Discussion

Like round house 002CB07124, the round house foundation was never seen on the ground, the ephemeral remains seen only from the air. The four substantial post holes which form a square are the entrance structure for round house, located to the east of the actual structure. Out of the 23 potsherds recovered from the post holes, 15 were of an  Iron Age date. Only one animal bone was recovered, part of a cat skull from the north-eastern post hole.
