The National Monuments Service's description

On ground sloping gently to S, in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Possibly rectangular or sub-rectangular structure, partially excavated (Excavation number E00455) by Doody (2007, 32, Structure 11). A portion of a post-built structure which appears to be its E side, interpreted by the excavator as a house (ibid. 32). Based on constructional similarities the excavator has suggested it is contemporary with the house c. 8m to the NNE (TS087-007----).
