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.’ Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 2 February 2014 Image DG089-018013-_01 (taken 21 July 1983): a view looking east with the remains of this house site in the foreground and two others (DG089-018028- and DG089-018029-) in the background.
