Discussion: Collapsed bench with plaster on side and top; and horn fitted
x1 was photographed as x13 of 10281
x2 was x14 of 10281

2010 - half of collapsed horn core 11940x4 was removed from site to finds lab (SF 19/08/10)

Unit excavated in 2013, horns taken out by conservation team. The bench had collapsed towards N, probably due to the weight of the horns attached to its north side. The horns had fallen out, so it could not be ascertained how they were fitted into the bench (altough cf. feature sheet 2021 for description from 2005 when they seemed still to be more attached to the plaster).
