Full Description
E 388:
This enclosure measures 12.5 x 6.5 metres, the walls stand very low (50 - 60 cm) and are nearly completely turfed over. Inside the enclosure very faint cultivation marks are visible. The structure is situated on a faint slope, 7 - 8 metres above sea level very near to coastal cliffs. The surrounding vegetation is long grass. House E 387 lies 20 metres to the north-west.
Interpretation: This enclosure was probably used as a garden for house E 387, as the cultivation marks inside the structure suggest. An exact date cannot be given, but most likely this enclosure belongs the house E 387.
