Complex roundhouse and later furnaces
This huge roundhouse also reveals traces of later activity.
Above: This aerial view shows the ring of posts from a massive
roundhouse, 19 metres in diameter. The dark curved area is where
the animals were kept. Overlying it are traces of later activity –
a cobbled area and an iron furnace. The dots in the corner are a
fence line.

areas are the collapsed clay chimneys.

is.
