photo Fig 11 p37) is on a NE-SW alignment and measures 20m x 6m overall. There are two compartments; the main one to
the SW is 13m x 5m internally and the NE one 5.5m x 5m. The walls are of dressed stone, double faced, mortared and generally 0.5-0.6m high x 0.6m thick although the SW gable has its full height of c5m in a precarious state. The walls of the NE compartment are less
substantial and there is much evidence of tumble here. <2>
