Some 12m to SW of a ringfort (GA057-121----). Low grass-covered foundation lines of a rectangular house (E-W; L 7.6m, Wth 3.28m) with traces of possible opposing entrances in N and S walls. A second similar house (E-W; L 6.3m, Wth 3.2m), with entrance at SE, lies 9m to N. A small annexe (N-S; L 2.2m, Wth 1.7m) abuts the outer wall-face just S of the entrance.
