General Description

Set amongst the cromlechs of Ts BC 46, this pie-wedge shaped stone construction does not appear to be part of the burial cluster except in that it may have reused many of the cromlech stones. The site is composed of two straight walls (north and west) set at right angles with two curvilinear offset walls bounding the southern and eastern sides. The western wall is a 10m long, double-faced construction with medium-sized, worked basalt blocks set in a loose alignment. The north wall is composed of medium and large shaped blocks in a single line of loosely fitting stones. Two arcs of irregular stones compose the southeastern boundary of the construction. One appears to intersect with the eastern end of the northern wall, extending in a single line of medium-sized, unworked stones in a curving southwesterly direction. The other intersects with the southern end of the western wall and also curves in a single line of unworked stones to the northeast. These curving walls pass one another leaving a gap of 2.1m before ending. The irregular construction and the unique entryway suggest that the construction likely served as a corral.
