has gloss | eng: :For the bed, see Four-poster bed Archaeologists refer to two different structures as a four-poster . The first is a type of stone setting found uniquely within the British Isles. They date from the Bronze Age and, as the name suggests, usually consist of four stones. Late Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman four-posters are square arrangements of postholes, around 2-4m square. Some are thought to have supported a raised granary whilst others have been shown to have supported haystacks. Other theories include that they were chicken sheds, workshops, beehives, watchtowers, or platforms for exposing the dead. Four posters are commonly found at hillfort and farm sites. |
