Full Description

NF60NE 20 6878 0550

G13: (NF 6878 0550) A much reduced and grassed-over building, apparently with an apsidal enclosure at the E end. The building measures perhaps 13 x 5m, with the enclosure extending a further 9m. This appears to be the earliest of four buildings found along the northern foot of the hill at Suiachan and Vaslain.
