Charred wood and timber from four late Saxon cellared buildings was examined. The main structural timber was oak, jointed with pegs, some of willow/poplar. Other structural woods included ash, elm, Sorbus-type, willow/poplar and conifer. Hazel was used for wattling. Other wooden objects include a barrel with oak staves, a turned vessel of willow, and areas of collapsed wickerwork/basketry. One of these was of split hazel roundwood with interwoven young Salix-stems; another of split hazel and oak roundwood with interwoven hazel stems.
