The dormitory3 viewsOn the top floor was what was thought to be the communal sleeping area. They had beds set up in a couple of the alcoves to show what it might have been like. The other theory was that this was not actually a floor, but that the roof sat in this area with the bottom edge of the roof being at the level of the floor. There are a couple drain holes through the walls at floor level.
