		Bersu also discovered that by a happy chance (and unusually in such sites) the presumably continuous waterlogging of the interior since its abandonment over a thousand years ago had, in many cases, preserved the stumps of original oak posts in the ringfort.
		Bersu interpreted this trench as the foundation of a sod wall, and indeed in size (some 30 feet, or 9 metres, square internally), shape and central position, the structure looks much like a large example of the sort of house to be expected at the centre of a ringfort.
		This is the date that Dr. Bersu postulated on archaeological grounds for the first ringfort and the beginning of the second (as I have said, Bersu was unaware of the historical evidence).

	History
		Three very large round huts were excavated by Dr Gerhard Bersu (Bersu, 1977) in the 1940s at Ballacagan and Ballanorris.
		They were up to 30 meters in diameter with concentric circles of load-bearing posts, and are considered to be a local variant of the Scottish crannog (Ceiling, P, 1978).
		Those investigated by Dr Bersu were all in low lying marshy areas, perhaps chosen for their inherent defensive qualities, but there are other round houses in higher, better drained locations, such as Cashtal Lajer, Manannan’s Chair and the Braaid, although none of these has proven by excavation to be Iron Age in date.

		Gerhard Bersu (1940) interpreted similar structures at Little Woodbury, where charred grains were found in the postholes of four-post structures, as raised grain stores, or granaries.
		This hypothesis has not been universally accepted and alternative propositions for the late prehistoric four-post structures include rectangular buildings such as watch towers or platforms, or fighting platforms, and rows of aligned four-post structures have been interpreted as rectangular houses or dwellings.
		On the basis of this evidence we have reinterpreted the deposits of charred grain in one or two postholes of granaries as the result of deliberate actions, and that t he inclusion of a handful of charred grain into one or two postholes of granaries should be understood within the concept of structured deposition.

		In the final months of World War II, excavations were carried out on the Isle of Man, leading to the uncovering of a boat grave in the vicinity of Balladoole, to the west of Castletown.
		The excavations were led by Gerhard Bersu, the chief director of the Roman-Germanic Commission in Frankfurt, who had fled from Germany during his period of internment.
		In this article, the burial offerings found in the grave are analysed with regard to provenance and date on the basis of the present state of research.

		The position of the boat burial at Chapel Hill, Balladoole, can be seen picked out in white quartz boulders.
		Gerhard Bersu, interned in the Island during World War II, was responsible for excavating this and two other Viking graves as well as the great roundhouses at Ballacagen
		The grave at Ballateare was simpler, but the findings were very dramatic, including the mutilated remains of a young woman sacrificed to accompany the dead man into the underworld.

		Excavations were carried out in 1914-15 and in 1919-23 in the interior (with limited digs at one of the gateways and at the 'reservoir') by A O Curle and J E Cree.
		He considers Bersu's dating unlikely and disposes of the evidence on which it is based by suggesting that the material came from a reconstruction of the earlier rampart after barbarian attack in 300 AD.
		Gerhard Bersu¿s excavations in the 1940¿s had hinted at a 13th or 14th century AD for a rectangular enclosure around the highest point on the summit.

		The burial was in fact discovered by accident, while Bersu was investigating the entrance to what he thought was an Iron Age hillfort.
		In the light of the evidence of the sacrifice of a young girl from a contemporary Manx grave at Ballateare, excavated by Bersu in 1946, it was suggested that these bones might represent a sacrificial victim.
		David Wilson, who co-authored the final report with Bersu in 1966, confirmed that the boat must have belonged to the North European tradition of shell-built double-ended hulls made of overlapping planks.

		The same year, he moved to the British Museum, abandon his efforts for a further degree to become assistant keeper of the department of British and medieval antiquities, headed by Thomas D. Kendrick (q.v.).
		The Museum immediately sent him to the Little Woodbury excavation under the direction of Gerhard Bersu (1889-1964).
		In 1939 he carried out an excavation of a medieval village at Seacourt (near Oxford), the first medieval excavation in Britain to employ scholarly archaeological method.

	Antiquity, Past Antiquity: Daniel Editorial - 1958
		While appreciating the essentially personal character of Crawford's editorship, a number of leading archaeologists have agreed that its continuance is highly desirable and Dr Glyn Daniel, of St John's College, Cambridge, has consented to become its new Editor.
		He will be assisted as advisory editors by Professor Gerhard Bersu, Dr G. Bushnell, Professor M. Mallowan, Professor Stuart Piggott, and Sir Mortimer Wheeler, and publication will continue without a break.
		Although Crawford did not approve of new-fangled devices like telephones, typewriters and motor cars, he had kept neat records of his plans for articles and reviews in his own clear hand.

		For the Little Woodbury reconstruction, Graham Wallace spent a long time interviewing the excavator, Gerhard Bersu, then interned on the Isle of Man. The farmstead itself was rebuilt at Pinewood Studios as faithfully as the excavation plan would allow.
		With regard to the roof of the roundhouse, Jacquetta Hawkes has recorded that `At the time of the excavation Dr Bersu had inclined to the belief that this was thatched, but subsequent evidence gained in the Isle of Man convinced him that the covering had been of turf.
		For better or worse, therefore, turf was used in the reconstruction, and the roof was made as a low dome running with little break into the earth-piled walls' (Antiquity XX, 1946).

		Yet despite a continuing history of research, including work by Stewart Cruden in the 1930s, Gerhard Bersu in the 1940s, and Richard Feachem in the 1950s, much remains unknown about the nature, chronology and extent of human activity on the Law.
		Gerhard Bersu’s excavations in the 1940s had hinted at a thirteenth or fourteenth century AD date for a rectangular enclosure around the highest point on the summit.
		The recent work bears this out, but has also uncovered what appears to be a child’s long cist burial within the enclosure, suggesting the presence of an early medieval burial ground.
