Full Description

rectilinear structure, oriented N-S, measuring 12m by 7m over poorly preserved, double-faced boulder walls 1.2m wide by up to 0.7m high; a narrow, c. 0.3m wide gap c. 2m from the N end of the E wall appears to be the outlet for a drain rather than an entrance; a 3m by 1m stone arrangement in the NE corner of the interior may be the remains of an internal feature such as a box-bed.
