This is perhaps the most sriking feature within B77. The platform has two pedestal/bench like protusions attached to its western and southern edges. From these pedestals, pretrude two pairs of cattle horn cores. The pedestals measure south 0.37m x 0.20m x 0.21m and west 0.32m x 0.18m x 0.28m. The height of these pedestals are from the platform top. The horns are placed inward and enclose the platform.
In a couple of places in the two pedestals there appears to be slight gap or recess - this may well have been produced when the horn sheth decayed, but it is by no means conclusive. If the sheath was present, the horn would have been a third as long (reducing greatly the available space in the platform.
The top of the platform has abandonment clustes on it. A stone cluster (17512) and two carbonized basket impressions or some form of matting (17528). The platform has also suffered some subsidense in the west breaking the floors, this is most likely due to burial movement/voids below the platform. There also appears to eb some disturbance in the NE corner (possibly baby burial).
The plaster on this platform is with the plaster in the NE corner (Walls) is grey and powdery to the touch (alsot ashes) with fine laminations.
