(previously recorded as NL69NW 22)

K Branigan and P Foster 1995

However, this description appears to differ from that given by Branigan and Merrony: 'T122 lies 50m N of the main settlement area [of Goirtein, NL69NW 19] and measures 8.6 x 5.3m overall. This building has no internal divisions, is orientated south-west to north-east and has its entrance to the north west'.
