Full Description

G59 (NF672040) Sub-rectangular? Built structure, 6.2 x 3.7 m, with a wall 0.75 m wide, and a door to the west. There is possibly a spur of walling forming a 'porch' in front of the door, and behind the structure is a less embedded almost square setting of stone blocks, 2.9 x 2.4 m. This appears to be a small (shieling?) hut with a type A shelter built adjacent to it.
