Abandonment of the building is marked by turf and stone collapse [018] and then ash midden dumps [014] into the ruin. Room [55] (Library; BL) As with room [15], only a part of the room extended into the excavation area but it was at least 4.1m long (aligned north-west/south-east) and 3.5m wide, its walls surviving to c. 0.5m on the north and 0.6m on the south, although on the north side some truncation had been affected by one of Guðmundur Ólafsson´s trenches [013]. Apart from the already mentioned possible passage to room [15], there was no access to the main corridor. No primary floor was found associated with this room and it is presumed this had wooden floorboards which were removed. Excavation stopped above a dark organic layer [103] which continued beneath the walls and represents part of the next building phase below. Directly above this was a fairly compacted, iron panned layer of decomposed organic matter/animal dung [083], which represents the re-use of the room as an animal byre. A few flat stones close up against the wall were set in this layer and may represent post pads. Above this was turf and stone collapse [043] from the walls and roof marking the abandonment of the room, and over this, just on the eastern edge of excavation, an ash midden dump [068]. Room [39] (Miller´s Chambers; EH) At the southern end of the excavation area this room was aligned close to north-south and skew to both the corridor and rooms [15] and [55]. Again, only a portion of the room fell within the limits of excavation, but it was at least 3.2m long (north-south) and 3.2m wide (east-west). It survived to a depth of c. 0.35m in the north and 0.65m in the south and as with room [55], no floor was found and it was presumed to have been floor-boarded. Excavation stopped above a similar organic layer [092] as in room [55], and with which it is probably continuous. Unlike rooms [15] and [55], there is no indication of re-use in this room and the primary layer preserved probably represents sub-floor leveling and 24
