Dare I ask what an SFB is? :roll:

I don't know, dare you?

:wink:

SFB = Sunken Featured Building, grubenhaus, grubhut etc. The stereotypical pitched roofed 'Anglo-Saxon' building built over a pit.

Until it was realised that there were probably floorboards over said pit (and that some, if not all, of them were used as workshops and storage buildings rather than dwellings), some archaeologists thought that the early English basicaly lived in muddy holes in the ground with a roof over them. Fitted in nicely with the concept of 'The Dark Ages'.
