Full Description

A sub-rectangular structure with rounded corners lies immediately within wall V100, c.15m W of the Atlantic roundhouse site (V4). The structure measures c. 6.5m E-W externally; its W end is 5m wide, tapering to 3m at its E end. The walls have boulder and cobble inner faces revetted into turf , and are c. 0.6m wide, standing up to 1m high in places. A possible entrance lies towards the N end of the W wall. Two chambers are present, the W 3m x 2m internally, the E 2m by 1.5m. The rounded internal angles of the W chambers suggests that this represents a primary original structure 5m x 4m externally, orientated N-S, with the E chamber latterly tacked on to this.
