Full Description

C15 (NF671026) Heavily robbed oblong building, 15.6 x 7.6 m, of which the north and east walls have been totally demolished. There is a secondary built stone structure 4.2m wide against the inside face of the south wall. The thick (1.3 m wide) walls and rounded corners identify this as a blackhouse, with a late shelter type F built within it.
