Full Description
E 309:
The walls of this house are in a very bad condition, they are mostly collapsed and stand just 40 cm high and are covered with turf. The house measures approximately 6 x 5.5 metres and is now used as a deposit area for beer cans!!!! An entrance is visible on its western wall. This building is situated on a platform overlooking Coilleag beach.
Interpretation: This structure was probably used as a barn, it seems very small for a house to live in. A Medieval or Post Medieval date is suggested by the bad state of the walls.
