Enclosure
This rectangular drystone building is set into the slope to form a flat floor and is situated only a few metres from the eroding edge of the beach and facing the sea. The back wall, built into the slope, is still upstanding to about 1.4 metres and is constructed of larger blocks with smaller stones filling in the gaps standing at least 5 layers of coursing high. There is no obvious entrance and the interior is filled with rubble. The sides and front walls are more denuded though do still show coursing. Attached to the seaward side appears to be a smaller annex, a rectangular enclosure which itself seems to show 2 phases of building with a larger more fragmentary structure underneath. There is a large boulder forming the south southeast coner of this annex which has rubble, probably collapse from the major building within it. There is tumble around the whole structure which measures 7.0 metres north - south and 4.0 metres west - east.
