What is recorded here

Abutting the external face of the enclosure at NE, and .65m below the level of its interior, are the foundations of a rectangular structure, possibly an oratory (KE098-049002-), which measure 5.35m ENE-WSW x 2.85m NNW-SSE internally. The walls, of drystone construction, survive only one to two courses high and average .65m thick. The W end of the building merges with the enclosing element of the site. No entrance feature is apparent. Cork University Press (1996), no. 930.
