Full Description

E 326:
This house is orientated from south-west to north-east. Its dimensions are 4.5 x 7 metres and the walls are 70 cm thick and 70 - 80 cm high. The walls are not, like most of the walls of the other buildings seen in this survey, covered with turf. It is situated on a platform and stands right next to a concrete building, the north-east corner of the house touches the northern corner of the modern concrete building. The concrete building itself is unroofed and used as a storage for wood etc.
Intrepretation: This building could have been a barn of storage building in Post Medieval times. The walls have most likely been dismantled quite recentliy, because they are not grown over.
