In order to raise the divisions, big oak posts (with a maximal height of 8 metres) had been bevel-edged and set into the ground until they reached the solid substratum of the ground.

These posts, that constituted the houses' frame, were heavy and hard to manipulate. Before they could go deep because of their weight (1000 to 2000 kg), they had to be raised vertically. Reconstruction tests have shown that pulleys and sawhorses had been needed at this stage.

We know that these posts supported the framings, although very few have been found, because all the vertical section have been taken away during the abandon of the site. However, there are neither tiles nor shingles which implies there had been thatched roofs. As far as the walls are concerned, they had been made of wattle, interlacing of sticks of flexible wood covered with clay.
