The National Monuments Service's description
Rectangular Buildings: The foundations of the S end of the smaller rectangular building (KE088-015002-), which measures 11.1m N-S x 3.6m E-W internally, abut the enclosing element in the SE quadrant of the site. The wall footings average .8m wide and survive to an average height of .5m. Opposed entrance gaps occur near the N ends of the side-walls. A large annex or yard, roughly rectangular in plan, is located on its W side. This measures 13.2m N-S x 8m E-W and is enclosed by the remains of a low wall. An entrance gap occurs at NW.
