What is recorded here

Situated in good pasture overlooking the Atlantic Ocean a short distance below. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) enclosed from SSW-W-N by a largely levelled bank (0.1-0.4m) of earth and stone with evidence for both internal and external stone facing in places. Two very large boulders are incorporated into the bank at NNW and at N. Built into the external face of the bank at SW is a semi-circular structure (SL011-007004-) defined by the remains of a drystone wall which may be the remains of an animal shelter. The modern entrance is at SE but the original entrance is not recognisable. Most of the S half of the interior is occupied by a possible house site (SL011-007003-). No remains of the souterrain (SL011-007002-) were identified. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
