Full Description

oval house footings, probably prehistoric, oriented approx. N-S with apparent entrance at the north-western end of the western long wall. Approx. 5m x 3m internal dimensions. The wall lines are of substantial orthostats, c. 1m x 0.5m x 0.3m. At the southern end, the wall is recessed into a natural knoll, and the wall line is of two courses, the upper of which has fallen into the building, but the lower of which is apparently still embedded in the ground.
