A piece of oak charcoal (Sample 31) from the outer burnt part 46/2 of one of the main structural timbers of the building. The oak is likely to have been worked green with stone tools so was probably in situ within one year of cutting / death; but if the timber was split longitudinally before use the charcoal could be from either heart or sap wood.
