Full Description

E 347:
This house is situated on a small platform. Its walls stand 0.9 - 1.0 metres high, but are partly collapsed and covered with turf. The house measures 4.5 x 6.5 metres and used stone outcrops as part of its walls. A doorway is located in the centre of its long wall.
Interpretation: This structure was probably used as a barn or shed for sheep, as it seems too small to live in. It could date to the Medieval as well as to Post Medieval times.
