Full Description
NL69NW 40 633 983
T145: Much-destroyed circular structure, 4m diameter, overlain by a rectangular loosely-built structure, 2.5 x 1.7m. Circular hut, overlain by shelter type A. Immediately S of the structures lies an irregularly-shaped monolith, 2.4 x 1.5m, and about 0.6m thick. There are traces of a wall or some sort of stone setting immediately S and downslope of the monolith. The stone is a most impressive feature and may originally have stood upright, looking down the Goirtein valley and towards the sea.
T156: Also noted at NL 633 983, and described as a 'heavily grassed over arc of walling, 2m diameter, abutting a rock face'. Shelter type F.
