Full Description

SU 116:
Running from east to west this stone faced, south facing terrace originates from the south-west corner of house SU 115 at NF 77944 14367 and runs for 15.4 metres to NF 77929 14366 where it stops.
Interpretation: This terrace may relate to the remains of house SU 115 that has been completely dismantled, providing increased drainage of soil depth, possibly for vegetable cultivation.
