No entrance is evident. A pile of bare stone about 2.0m diameter just inside the W quarter is of uncertain purpose. 'B', much depleted, is 13.0m in diameter. No entrance is evident.
'C' is 13.0m NW-SE by 12.5m with an entrance in the SE.
'D', the best preserved, is 10.5m in diameter within a wall 1.4m thick composed of an inner face of contiguous slabs on edge backed by rubble. An entrance is in the SE.
