The cropmarks of a round house, pits and a possible souterrain have been revealed by oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995), in a field 500m NE of Pityoulish. The round house measures about 15-18m in diameter and may have a circular pit-defined structure within the interior. A crescentic feature at its NW side, some 30m long, may be a part of the round house or represent a possible souterrain. A roughly circular line of at least seven large pits, each about 2-3m in diameter, surround the round house, and a further cluster of at least five pits is visible approximately 30m to the SW. There are other indeterminate cropmarks scattered across the field.
