with the changes to the gables. Closer dating of the finds from these rooms may help to resolve this, but certainly the rooms as currently excavated belong broadly to the 18 th century. Hopefully further work next season will elucidate some of these issues. External Deposits (MS/SÞ) Two areas of the site were outside the main farm building complex – a large area in the southeast, which, apart from 20 th century deposits (see below), was unexcavated this season, and in the northwest, a small corner just outside the opening of the main corridor [30]. This latter was partially excavated down to the first surviving surface [126], which consisted of loose flagstones leading north from the doorway into the corridor and over which the blocking wall [110] had been constructed. To the west of this was a layer of charcoal, ash and bones [118] indicative of sheet midden. Both the flagstones and midden dump are probably early-mid 19 th century in date and are associated with the later re-use of the farm buildings. Above the flagstones were turf collapse deposits ([112], [104]) and over the midden, turf and substantial stone rubble, also probably wall collapse ([121], [105], [096]). Above all this area and the walls was the base of the 1958 leveling layer [086]. The 20 th century Farm (Phases 1-2) While the 20 th century farm house lies to the northwest of the excavation area, associated farm buildings [002] – namely the haybarn and adjacent structures – did lie within our excavations. All had been largely truncated when the farm mound was leveled in 1958, and only traces were left of most buildings. The haybarn dating to 1902 was the most substantial, cutting deep into the farm mound; it comprised a nearly square foundation cut [004], measuring 9.5m east-west and 10.6m north-south, with an extant depth between 1.7m in the north and 0.7m in the south. Its sides were lined with large stones (averaging c. 0.3-0.4m in size), and in the northeastern corner, the stones had been additionally faced with concrete and the floor also laid with concrete. 37
