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 the foundations of a building represented by two rectangular room-like spaces set at right angles to each other. The N room (outer dims. 5.5m x 4m) is set perpendicular to, and with its short wall abutting the long side of the S room (outer dims. 6m x 3m). No formal entrance or doorway 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).
