Full Description
rectilinear structure with wquared internal and rounded external corners, oriented NE-SW, measuring 15m by 7.5m over double-faced boulder walls 1-1.5m wide by up to 0.6m high; entrance, 0.8m wide, lies 2m from NE corner on SE wall; featureless interior. Several external features are present; a 1m wide platform with a distinct outer face lies immediately beside the NE wall, and is probably part of a foundation stance for the building; a possible boulder alignment springs from the centre of the NE wall and runs eastwards for c. 8m; a second boulder alignment 7m long springs SE from the SE wall c. 0.5m SW of the entrance. A distinct linear hollow 11m long, 1m wide and 0.5m deep, running beside the SE wall between the two boulder alignments, is probably a drain.
