Presumably they could have built dwellings mainly from timber?


With the addition, in some cases , of turf and heather .
The LBK European longhouses were nearly all wooden .

Worth mentioning that some of the earlier British Neolithic buildings , although few and far between , sometimes had stone walls e.g. Skara Brae ,Knap of Howar and the later Dartmoor round houses could also have had stone walling .


Would 'wags' have anything to with this Mr T, probably they are later or would it be the Balbridie long house type thing??



Hi Drew
, Kempstone hill is a nightmare izzitno?

Yep Wags are later than the usual dates for hut circles.
Balbridie is just about as early as you get here and similar to the LBK longhouses , although the latter is even earlier .
Is there a connection ?
btw another "hall " similar to Balbridie was uncovered quite recently near Carnoustie
