Full description

Attached to the north-west of courtyard house 30696.2 is a sub-rectangular enclosure approx 12m by 4.6m internally, which appears to be part of a third phase of the courtyard house's history. It was surveyed at 1:2500 by CCRA/NT in 1982 (h4, b8-b10). It functioned, presumably, as a fold or garden used by the occupants of the house (b11).
