  No. The layout of the building was rectangular, maybe 6 to 8 meters on the sides. Single room, with a few shelfs also made of stone embedded into the walls, a fireplace, and a bed/couch, also made of stone, but very smooth surface. Only one small window(almost quadratic(maybe up to a meter sidelength, and a doorway. It stood on a slope, and the walls were cut into it up to a height of maybe 1.50 meters on the sides. Looking rather cozy, all in all. And a larger fireplace outside. And nothing else! Like that place had been cut out, somewhere else, and came to rest there. But thanks for asking :-) That's the diffuculty I remember for finding this place again. England, Ireland, Scotland and the many islands in the Orkneys and Shetlands are full of the stuff! Looking at maps now, ISTR it was on a single small Island, like Ham, with an almost conical mountain in the middle. And Hebrides was a mistake, that is west of Scotland. Either Orkneys, or Shetlands. I tried to imagine how that must have looked at the time, depending on the weather, maybe poking out of the mist, like something out of Lord of the Rings, or similar.
