The National Monuments Service's description
Within the E sector of the interior of a concentric enclosure (GA095-086----). This is one of three possible house sites (see also GA095-086002- and GA095-086003-) that were initially noted by Westropp (1919, 174-5). This one consists a foundation line (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2m) that is D-shaped in plan (6.6m N-S; 4.8m E-W) and abuts the inner face of the inner bank. An internal grassed-over foundation line (L 35m; Wth c. 2m) extends from it at SW and curves across the interior of the monument towards the NW.
