Full Description

A possible stone wall was identified just below the turf. Dimensions as seen measured 0.8m long by 0.15m wide, with stones averaging 0.14m by 0.13m in size, with a white to light grey colour. The possible wall remnant was straight in plan and oriented on a northwest to southeast alignment.

Immediately northeast of possible wall fragment was a slab of modern concrete.

Perhaps related to the military huts which were identified by previous geophysical and topographic surveys. They are known to have been constructed during the Second World War.
