Two modern, cylcindrical stone pillars (diam. of both 0.9m) stand 3m apart on top and close to the N perimeter of an ill-defined circular platorm (SL014-17----). They are located immediately S of the stone wall that bounds the platform on this side. The W pillar (H 2.43m) is constructed of uncoursed rubble stone bonded with mortar, with a slight plinth (T 0.1m) just above ground level. The E pillar (H 1.96m) is also constructed of uncoursed rubble stone and has a stone (L 0.30m; W 0.26m; D 0.10m) protruding from its SE side at ground level. The precise nature of these pillars is unknown. They may have formed part of a gateway and do not appear to be associated with the oval platform. (Raftery 1974, 84)
