Here the central component is a mound 13 m diameter, 1m high, with a building platform on SW 8m wide projecting 4 to 5 m, contained in a rough circuit of rubble wall 27 m overall diameter up to 10 m from the mound on ESE. Projecting from this wall on the west is a 4m square structure with internal dimension 3 x 0.5 m E-W. <1>
