Oh, dugout houses - my initial expectation was canoes.
ah....should have clarified the title...
The excavation seems to have been done with Wheeler boxes - very Old School.

Thread drift I realise, but one quaint aspect of Wheeler's career is that during WW2, when he was a TA anti-aircraft regiment CO, his standardised design for AA machine-gun pits was based on Celtic roundhouses...
He also had a daredevil streak. Under the guise of researching what it was like to experience anti-aircraft fire, he blagged a seat in a Wellington bomber on a raid on an Italian air field. To get a better view , he sat in the front turret. The air defences were a disappointment though so the bomber crew decided to beat up the airfield, Wheeler blazing away with the turret guns. Indiana Jones eat your heart out.
