nix wrote: thanks! the fact that stone structures and timber ones were used at the same time is a new and interesting one - not sure that the evidence makes them elaborate entrances - they could have had a lot of different functions - but it creates interesting thoughts about what what we call the forecourt could have been for Maybe a bit of imagination on Ms Arnolds behalf like the archaeos widely accepted one that the wooden structures were for excarnation . Although a few Severn-Cotswold tombs did use timber e.g. Waylands Smithy the majority didn't and often had a pronounced forecourt with horns instead .
