Field Visit (21 March 2012)
This structure, most probably the remains of a building, is situated within the SE end of the northern enclosure and was first identified by RCAHMS during its Emergency Survey in May 1943. Though described at that time as circular, it appears to be subrectangular or subsquare, measuring about 7.7m from NNE to SSW by 6.9m transversely over a wall reduced to a grass-grown bank about 1.8m in thickness but no more than 0.2m in height. There is a possible entrance at the centre of the ESE side. Probing with a survey-pin revealed the bank to contain very little stone, and it is likely that the structure overlies the adjacent rig-and-furrow.
