60 ANCIENT SETTLEMENT ON TREWOKTHA MAESH. 



replaced the slabs as found. The south wall of this chamber is 

 constructed of upright slabs. The chamber has not yet been 

 fully excavated. 



Hut C. This hut is about 60-ft. long internally, and about 

 12-ft. wide. It has not yet been examined with the spade. It 

 apparently consisted of a long hall and of two small chambers, 

 one of which is an excrescence to the side of the oblong dwelling. 

 A passage passes between the shelter bank and the west wall of 

 this house. 



Hut D, about 28-ft. long by 8-ft. 6-in. wide, consists of a 

 single chamber. The door-jambs and lintel remain. This hut 

 has not as yet been excavated. 



Hut E. This is the longest of all the habitations, and has 

 been pretty thoroughly explored. 



It consists of an oblong building, measuring externally 80-ft. 

 by 20-ft. It comprises four chambers, but that to the east is 

 much more modern than the rest, and the original length of this 

 house was 70-ft. Admission was obtained through a doorway 

 3-ft. 3-in. wide, the bottom of which was paved. The lintel was 

 fallen, but has been re-placed by us. It was not supported by 

 upright jambs, but rested on walls. A screen of granite was 

 erected on the west side of the door, probably to keep the rain 

 and wind from driving in at so exceptionally large an entrance. 

 The height of the lintel from the floor is 3-ft. Although not in 

 place, its position and height could be approximately determined 

 by the screen within, that stood 3-ft. above the floor. It may 

 not have been so high, but it probably was. A doorway so wide 

 was also, in all likelihood, unusually high ; and 3-ft. is the height 

 of the jambs to Hut B. 



On passing through this door we enter a hall, 44-f t. 

 long, by 14-ft. wide, divided into two by a screen of upright 

 slabs of granite, standing about 3-ft. above the soil. If we 

 turn to the left, we find ourselves in a hall divided again 

 into two portions by stone screens, that to the east is one slab 

 standing forward 2-ft. 3-in. at right angles with the main wall, 

 serving to give those in the chamber some shelter from the 

 draught from the door, Seven feet six inches to the west 19
