Full Description
NF83SW 7 8432 3330.
'About 5m to the E of the entrance of the souterrain (NF 83 SW 4) and almost abutting against the outer wall of the roundhouse associated with that souterrain, is a subcircular enclosure 5m in internal diameter. Its containing wall is about 2m thick, and faced with dry stone walling of the same type as the round house. There is no trace of radial piers but in the centre is a large subrectangular boulder that might have served as a central pillar.'
