The main block is set towards the hill. The walls are made of dry stones of 4 metres (13 ft) thickness. There is a 4 metres (13 ft) passage leading from the entrance. The complex has an elaborate drainage system which ensured that the interior remained dry. The floor of the chamber had stone flooring. The forecourt is D-shaped and is conjectured as an animal pen. No stone-made furniture was found, which has led to the conclusion that the furniture must have been made of wood.<sup id="cite_ref-Castleden1992-2_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Castleden1992-2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Inventory_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Inventory-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Artifacts">Artifacts</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Benie_Hoose&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Artifacts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The large number of artifacts found at the site attests to the domestic nature of the Benie Hoose.
