Fascinating! Thank you!!

I've seen the footings of turf hovels from the last 200 years or so surviving as little semi-circular footprints in the landscape up in highland Perthshire/Stirling, but any timber elements which may have existed have vanished - they may have been pilfered for use elsewhere. I'm surprised any stray timber doesn't get recycled as firewood - though I guess your population density wasn't great, so there wasn't that much pressure on resources...
