Description:

A collapsed hut with wicker walls described as a girls' hut within chief Nurufa's household. It is possible that it belonged to a girl who had married and moved into her husband's hut, sometimes built nearby. Homesteads normally had three types of hut: that of the household head (we tal mu); that for children and their mothers (we i jalge); a kitchen (we i fek); and a shelter for calves and kids (al i mok).
