Full Description
K36 (NL669997) Substantial spread of stone blocks on small shelf above steep slope. Around south (downslope) side five successive substantial blocks can be seen firmly embedded in an arc. On the north side, the outline of a curving structure is marked partly by stone blocks and partly by a shallow cutting into the hillslope. A substantial circular structure stood here, about 8 m i diameter. Prehistoric roundhouse. A much later shepherd's shelter 1.7 x 1.3 m is built over one corner of the structure.
