Full Description
rectilinear structure, oriented N-S, measuring 9m by 3.5m within walls c. 1m wide by up to 0.7m high; located on sheltered ground between two knolls; interior has two chambers, the northern 3.5m long, the southern 4.5m long and with its floor at a higher level. Little stone is visible within the 0.3m high turf and heather-covered walls, except for the inner face of the northern chamber, which is formed of boulder uprights up to 0.7m high. The northern chamber is entered by a 0.7m wide door on the E at its SE corner, whereas the southern chamber appears to have an independent entry on the S wall at its SE corner. The field remains strongly suggest two phases of use, with the northern half of the original building rebuilt.
