0m N (gr. 10675) (Gr.10664) (Gr.10515) (Gr.8590) (Gr.10590) 10m (Gr. 9502) Stones Turf Post hole (Gr.8562) Figure 6. A simplified drawing of phase (10664) of structure (10662) with platform (10675). Eleven deposits belonging to this phase were excavated in the <strong>2010</strong> field season. At this stage all blockings had been removed from the north entrance of the structure revealing one continuous space, or an extension to the main structure (formerly known as the “front room”). This extension was about 3 m wide and seems to continue beyond the northern limits of the excavation area. Concentrated up against the east side of the extension was a sequence of seven deposits (in chronological order youngest – oldest: [10611], [10622], [10627], [10635], [10639], [10645], [10649] and [10653]. Those deposits were mostly composed of turf and stone, and formed a low platform, group (10675), which possibly served as the foundation for an internal structure, although it is also possible that it simply was a coarsely made pavement. Two dark floor deposits (in chronological order youngest – oldest: [10613], [10630]), separated only by a small lens of clean turf, unit [10624], were excavated in the central part of the main structure. Both were up to 4 cm thick, extremely firm and made of brownish grey turf material, probably laid down to level the surface of the structure. Both these deposits contained fragments of wood, as well as pottery sherds and glass fragments, which have yet to be analysed. 44
The removal of the deposits excavated so far in group (10664) revealed a number of features which will be excavated during the 2011 field season. This includes, among other things, a possible hearth in the eastern part of the main structure; what seems to be a subcircular negative feature lined with stones in the east side of the north extension to the main structure as well as further postholes and possible foundations for internal structures.
