What is recorded here
One of four buildings (SL014-076044-; SL014-076045-; SL014-076046-; SL014-076052-) located on a narrow ledge on the N side of Knocknarea Mountain, it consists of a rectangular space (5.5m x 3m) defined by a series of limestone slabs set on edge that probably represent the remains of the foundations for a small building. No evident entrance was noted. From their location on the isolated and limited ledge it is suggested that these buildings may have been used in one and the same context. What that context was, and especially its date, remains unknown (pers. comm. Stefan Bergh, 14 August 2014).
