It measures 12.1m N-S x 5.5m E-W internally, and its wall footings average 1m wide and survive to an average height of .5m. There are poorly defined, opposed entrance gaps midway along the side-walls, the W example measuring .9m wide. The house is divided internally by a transverse wall near its N end.
