Full Description
A rectangular structure on a NE-SW alignment with internal measurement of c5m x 3m. Appears as a platform with a turf wall, 0.2m height and 1-1.5m spread, surrounding on 3 sides (open to SW) and with rounded corners. There is a similar structure, 04, a few metres to NE (see MHG53808). <1>
During a walkover survey by West Coast ArchaeologIcal Services in August 2010, this building was observed to lie at the north end of a linear ditch and bank. This site was previously recorded during the NOSAS survey in 2009 in association with a second turf structure. There were other faintly visible turf mound alignments around Site 18, but they did not appear to take any real structural form. <2> <3>
