Summary

A building platform situated on the eastern internal face. Spoil from a tin pit in the interior, obscuring the true shape but it was almost certainly an oval hut with internal diameter of approximately 6 metres, terraced sharply into the enclosure wall and built up on the west as a stony scarp 0.8 metres high. A break in the western side may be an entrance.
