Hi Sven,
I happened to visit this afternoon after the fighting had stopped and we saw some tired but happy Vikings. Somehow the guards were exhausted and we managed to silently invade and see the site
It is great and we enjoyed the visit a lot!
In front of the tower we saw someting that looked like the foundation of a hall building (wooden beams placed on stones). Are you building a small hall there?
When I saw that construction I started wondering whether this building will incude posts that are placed in postholes. This is because we found rather large (80-120cm)
postholes of the halls at Borre. And looking at the rotten wooden post/figure lying on the ground near the entrance, there would be a good point not to use posts placed in postholes.
Do you know anything about the methods used to treat/prepare the posts in order to avoid rot?
