Notes

  • 2 rows of 7 + 7; base projects (but by 1992, many were broken); wall is narrow at top, so top stones of upper row provide shelf, possibly for more skeps; house dated 1700s-II/1800s-I, but bee boles may be earlier; 1993: bee boles renovated; 2013: in good condition (one broken top will be repaired); dimensions given above are for original recesses - they are now 16x20x17 in.; bee boles section projects 17 in. from wall
