A pithouse (pit house) uses natural land features, such as a depression of ground in front of a bank or slope of land, to build a protective enclosure for people or animals. The slope of land forms one "side" of the house and is a natural wind break. Poles set at four corners in front of the slope can then be blocked (such as Fencing) or covered (roof and walls). During warm weather, the slope provides coolness from exposed ground at the back of the pit house. Leaves, branches, and mud form semi-sturdy walls and roof.
