This cleit stands complete on the NW flank of the settlement mound. Overall it measures 3.6m in length from ESE to WNW by 2.5m in breadth and the walls are generally about 0.75m in thickness, though the outer face has largely fallen away, excepting one sector on the SSW. The interior is 2.8m in length and expands in breadth from 0.65m at the entrance at the ENE end to a maximum of 1.2m towards the lower end. The seven lintels supporting the roof remain in place, generally standing about 0.85m above the floor, and from the top of the roof at the upper end to the foot of the wall on the WNW is a height of 2.2m. At the entrance there is step down into the interior some 0.3m high and built of coursed stones, on the E side a single blocking stone can be seen set up on its end.
