Description
A roughly square structure divided into four compartments in a sheltered nook on NW facing slopes. Approximately 5m square the structure is built with walls 0.8m 1m thick and 0.5m 0.75m high which are formed of rectangular stones many over 0.5mlong. The easternmost compartments have recognisable entrances, one of which is defined by jambs, which lead into roughly square compartments with sides 1.5m 2m long. The walls of the two W compartments have largely collapsed and exact dimensions could not be ascertained though it is clear the the SW example has rounded corners. The tops of all but the N facing wall is level with the surrounding hill side. 400m above O.D.
