General description of the door frame

Interior door with two stone steps as a threshold, unexcavated. The lintel has stone slabs as a filling above the timber frame. The evidence of timber evidence is not recorded, since the door is inacceessible, but one can see on the west side imprints of a lintel, the north door jamb, and two holes of transversal elements that are dislocated due to the deformation of the frame.
