Full Description

E 407:
This enclosure is built upon a platform, which is situated on a faint slope. The structure is located 9 metres to the south of house E 404. The enclosure measures approximately 12.5 x 8.5 metres, and the walls are nearly completely turfed over, they stand 60 cm high. The surrounding vegetation is long grass.
Interpretation: This enclosure probably belongs to the house E 404, although it is possible, that the enclosure was built before the house. Its condition suggests that it might be contemporary with houses E 405 and E 406.
