Field Visit (11 May 2009)
A gathering fold overlies what may be the remains of an earlier cellular building. A possible cleit, unusual in both shape and build, stands immediately to the W and is perhaps more readily interpreted as a freestanding cell belonging to the fold.

These survey drawings were later used as the basis for a site plan redrawn in vector graphics software for publication at a scale of 1:2500 (Gannon and Geddes 2015,84)
