Full Description

E 261:
This heavily robbed and eroded house is orientated from north north-east to south south-west. Its dimensions are 5.8 x 7.3 metres. The outline is very confused by vegetation, much of the architecture is turfed over. An entrance is not clearly to be seen, but probably in the middle of the north-western wall. An internal division is also possible, but not certain. Walls are very low (50 cm) and mostly collapsed. The site is located on a small platform at the base of a steep cliff, 20 metres south from E 262.
