Full Description

SU 85:
Located immediately south of SU 84, this barn is constructed of stone faced walls with earth cores. It is orientated from west to east and measures 7.4 x 4.5 metres and has a single entrance in the centre of its southern wall. Its northern wall stands several courses high, and its eastern end, apsoidal in shape, is marked by several large orthostats on its interior.
Interpretation: Though located some distance from the general group of structures, this barn is thought to relate to Baile G which is spread though out its enclosed area.
