Description
Remains of a building, probably a longhouse, built with long axis at right angles to the slope and on a platform partially scooped into the slope, at its SE end, to 1.5m deep. Overall it measures 12m (E-W) by 4m and is defined by boulder-built walls. It is subdivided into three compartments: E and central accessible from a common entrance in the S walll, and the W has independent access through the N wall. A bank running from the SW corner forms a small yard.

From near the W end of the building runs a bank 1.5m wide and 0.2m high and about 50m long (N-S). It runs atop a scap 1m high. A second bank, 3m wide and 1m high, is located nearby. (See linear table)
