Full Description
E 391:
This house is situated only slightly above the sea surface on a faint slope. The dimensions of this house are 5.5 x 8 metres. It is orientated from west to east and a doorway is located in the southern corner of its western short wall. The southern long wall lies adjacent to a natural stone outcrop. 1.5 metres to the west house E 392 is situated. The walls of this structure stand up to 1 metres high, but are covered with turf at some places.
Interpretation: This house could be seen as a building belonging to the bigger house E 392. It was probably used as a storage room, although it seems quite big for that purpose. Other storage rooms seen in this survey are of smaller size.
