Activities

Field Visit (11 September 2008)

Roof intact with turf and stone cap up to 0.7m in thickness. Max height 2.2m at the downslope SSW end, min height 0.7m to the underside of the entrance lintel. The upslope end has been rebuilt or is an addition as entrance walls are misaligned.

May have had an entrance/window at the NNE end that has since been blocked. Void over WNW entrance probably created by a fallen stone rather than a fanlight.
