Full description
Good, O., 2016, Land at Tithe Barn Green, Monkerton, Exeter, Devon: Post-excavation Assessment and Updated Project Design, 8, fig 5 (Report - Assessment). SDV364105.
Middle Iron Age ring-gully 3.2 was located 9m to the east of Barrow 3.1, and comprised three individual gully segments (301, 302, and 303) (Fig. 5). The ring-gully was dated by material recovered from one segment although the spatial configuration and similarity of these features suggests that they are probably contemporary, and collectively form elements of the circular gully of a roundhouse.
The segmented elements constituting Ring-gully 3.2 displayed an average length of 3.09, a width of 0.55m and a depth of 0.2m. If these features did indeed define the plan of a prehistoric roundhouse, it would have had a circumference of 36m and a diameter of 11m, which are typical dimensions for roundhouses of this period (see Fig 5).
