The National Monuments Service's description
This structure is incorporated into the outer enclosure wall. It measures c. 2 by 4m internally and may be a hut-site. Some facing, 0.15m high, survives on the interior of the south wall. The location of this hut-site is approximate. (Walsh 1983, 55, Fig. 18, A)
