 These trenches revealed that approximately 0.40 m below the existing stone flagged floor was a well-preserved cobbled floor.One of these trenches also exposed the remains of a rectangular post-hole contemporary with the cobbled floor that reached a depth of approximately 0.60 m below the cobbles.This open room occupies the central core of the house and is characterised by the tall Georgian window that reaches to the ceiling at the top of the house and lights the main staircase that allows access to the first and second floors.
