Description
NAR SH72NW2

A sub-rectangular building is defined by banks or tumbled stone walls 4.5m wide and 1.0m high. These outline a rectangular compartment with rounded corners, 8.5m north-west to south-east by 8.0m.
The building is set towards the foot of a low north-west facing scarp. Its date and function are unknown. It may be assiociated with the late rehistoric type settlement some 16m to the north-west.
