The walls of anglo saxon houses were made of wood and sometimes wattle and daub. wattle and daub is made by weaving together small wooden branches to create a wall. mud, straw, horse hair and cow or horse dung is mixed together and then smeared on the walls. once this dries it is like plaster and can even be painted.
