935050	RECORDING	MEASURED SURVEY	South elevation: The south-facing elevation comprises a main build of sub-angular blocks of basalt (whinstone). The elevation measures 5.9m long and stands to a height of 1.4m at its east end and 1.5m at its west end. The wall is essentially a double skin wall faced with basalt with a rubble core. The quoins framing the door opening comprise large sub-rounded dressed blocks of basalt. On average these measure 0.4m x 0.3m x 0.3m. The segmented arch above the doorway comprises eight individual blocks of buff-coloured ‘rattlebag’ which is a very friable agglomerate and easily weathered. The top of the wall is very irregular and loose owing to the penetration of ivy roots. [...]	October 2012
