Posthole of A5 longhouse, initially excavated in 1971 as F00231, quod videte. During the reopening of 1973 it was considerably overdug, and eventually solid bedrock was reached to give a hole 50 cms wide and 14 cms deep. The 1971 profile, given here, is the correct one. Like F01407 this posthole showed a heavy packing of small stones at the top, indicating that the post came near to filling the hole, and that its lowest portion was not accessible for stone packing.
