Enclosed area between two roundhouses (Structures 1 and 2) was excavated in 2011 and provided an understanding of the relationship between the two structures and some indication of their phasing. The boundary forming the perimeter to the enclosed area was composed of two elements which overlay a buried soil.The boundary wall was 1.7 metres wide and survived within the excavation area to a height of 0.4 metres. It was constructed of granite pieces measuring 0.3 to 0.8 metres with an upper course of small granite rubble. Te boundary wall abbutted the north side of Structure 2 and extended beyond the excavation area. The wall was truncated to the south by a tree pit but survived to a width of 1.2 metres. The enclosed area contained three granite paved surfaces. One abutted the perimeter wall of Structure 1. Another extended from the entrance of Structure 1 into the adjacent tree pit. From the east of the tree pit was a surface extending towards Structure 2. Where a relationship survived it suggested that the enclosure wall was added after the construction of the roundhouses.
