What is recorded here
This possible house is located immediately north-west of the south-western entrance to the enclosure (DG089-018004-). It is described by Herity (1995, 92) as ‘the foundations of a roughly rectangular building greatly robbed and degraded, over five metres long on a north-east south-west axis and a little over three metres wide. Its entrance seems to be in the southern comer, controlling the entrance to the enclosure surrounding the knoll. The placing suggests a guard-house; the size might suggest use as a guest-house.’
