Full Description

M3 (NL687938) A thick-walled structure, 7 x 4 m, with rounded north end and straight south end. A doorway 0.7 m wide is on the east side and gives into a small oblong room, 3 x 2 m, to the left, and a circular cell about 1.8 m diam. To the right. The wall of the cell is battered inwards and the cell may have had a corbelled roof. Too small to be a normal dwelling house, but too strongly and carefully built to be a casual shelter.
Brannigan and Foster 2000, 53
