Full Description

SU 26:
This oval, turf and stone platform measures 16.75 x 12 metres, stands up to 1.5 metres high and has a circular top surface of 8.5 metres in diameter. This feature is located on the highest point of the east to west ridge upon which Baile B is located.
Interpretation: This platform is similar in form and size to platform SU 14 and is likely to have been for a similar use possibly as a threshing platform.
