This building is based on an earth walled, rectangular structure.
Very little of this type of building survives in the archaeology - the materials are easily destroyed. It is 12ft (4m) x 8ft (2.5m). The wall is 18 inches (0.5m) thick. It was constructed
from rammed earth, chalk and straw, using a wooden frame to maintain the wall shape. 'Clunch' is the local name for an earth wall, common to Hampshire and Sussex, also known as 'Cob' or 'Wytchet' elsewhere. The roof frame shows a variety of methods of joints and techniques. It has water reed thatch, and is a minimum build to reflect the low status of this structure. Information - thanks to David Freeman.
