"It was a round house - a smaller version of iron age round houses - with a circle of timber posts around a sunken circular floor area, which could have been covered by reeds."
It'd go for 1.2 million today, wouldn't it?

"the English invented houses"
Nah.
We've merely discovered one group of English invented their house before any other group of English.
There's all sorts of house remains in parts of Turkey and Japan that seem to go back 10,000 years and more earlier than the arriviste at Scarborough.
Mind you, we did invent Cheddar. We also invented really, really, really horrible Cheddar, though ghere's a lot less of it around these days.

Our ancient house would be a proper house. It would have staffordshire flat-back ornaments, gnomes, a mat with Welcome written on it, ducks on the wall and decking in the garden (there WOULD be a garden wouldn't there?).
That knocks our curly slippered friends into a cocked hat.

>>We invented houses.
There would have been an umbrella stand.<<
It would probably have been overrun with Neanderthal versions of Sarah Beeny telling them they'd laid it out all wrong, and Kim and Aggie lecturing them about how to clean up all the sabre-tooth tiger poo with a handful of twigs.
