@liz askew The question regards to dual elements located next to a stairs run in front of a house similar to these: https://www.facebook.com/GdanskStrefa/photos/a.7468495187074... .

In your answer, the "lintel" is a component of fireplaces inside a 16th century house (Tetcott Manor if I found correctly).

Abstract
The article presents selected results and conclusions from archaeological and architectural research carried out within the market square of Dukla. Its purpose was to collect information and define the nature of threshold cellars located there. A part of the work was also to carry out test drillings around the town hall in order to verify the hypothesis about the presence of cellar chambers and underground passages.
Artykuł przedstawia wybrane wyniki i wnioski z badań archeologiczno-architektonicznych przeprowadzonych w obrębie płyty rynku w Dukli. Ich celem było zinwentaryzowanie oraz określenie charakteru znajdujących się tam piwnic przedprożowych. Częścią prac było także przeprowadzenie odwiertów kontrolnych w okolicy ratusza, w celu zweryfikowania hipotez o obecności komór piwnicznych oraz przejść podziemnych.
