The second building (USN93 431) measures 15.8m by 4.3m within a stony bank spread to 1m in thickness and 0.3m in height; three of the corners are marked by large boulders. An enclosure containing lazy-beds lies to the W of USN93 431, with a second enclosure overlain by an earth and stone bank, possibly a plantation bank, about 70m to the W of the same building.
