Summary
Vis=18/5/1995 (gerrard) this small sub-rectangular structure, measuring 7.5m by 3.3m, is situated at the s end of the farmstead. It consists of a low, level platform. A few faced boulders around the perimeter indicate the former presence of a kerb. A few irregular stones are also visible on the surface. Its proximity to the fields to the s suggests that it has a function associated with farming. It is rather crudely constructed and overgrown but it is possible that it was used for threshing or drying (mpp).
