Full Description

E 322:
This blackhouse measures 10 x 6.9 metres and its walls are just 60 cm high and nearly completely covered with turf. The doorway is not visible. The house is orientated from north north-west to south south-east and situated on a platform with long grass vegetation.
Interpretation: The bad condition of the walls suggest a rather early date, probably Medieval. The inhabitants of this house have possibly farmed the field E 321, 30 metres to the north-west.
