What is recorded here

In front of the doorway of the sweathouse (SL021-066001-) is a small courtyard type feature (2.24m N-S; 1.5m E-W) defined on W, E and N sides by upright contiguous slabs that were considered by Weir (1979, 196) to form part of a megalithic tomb but this is most unlikely. There are three slabs on the W side, four on the E side and a single large slab defining the N side with an entrance gap (Wth 0.8m) at NE.
