ABSTRACT
In the last chapter we settled for two kernels of original settlement, one on the south side of the hill with the small ‘enclave’ and the house circle, and the other on the west side with two groups of houses enclosed within the Great Compound and another just outside and close up to the north wall of the compound. We suggested that there were probably a couple of large enclosures associated with the early western settlement, and that on the southern side there was a radial accretion of enclosures. It seems likely that these developments occurred over a few centuries and that we are talking about maybe eight families or so on the south side, and something similar on the west. Perhaps between 100 and 200 people.
