Full Description

NC70NW 60.02 centred on 707 061

The remains of this townhip comprise the faced-rubble footings of six buildings, which are disposed across a terrace to the E of the Torbreck Burn. One building (ROG95 189), with three compartments, is much larger than the others, measuring 19.3m by 2.7m internally, while three of the other buildings measure between 9.3m and 10.2m in length and between 1.9m and 3.7m in breadth internally. The remaining two buildings are appreciably smaller than the others, measuring 4.7m by 2.8m (ROG95 191) and 4.5m by 3m (ROG95 378) internally. Bedneuks are visible in three of the buildings (ROG95 189, 193-4).
At the N end of this township there is a section of the head-dyke that encloses the township on the opposite side of the Torbreck Burn. It is overlain by two buildings, one of which (ROG95 193) lies over the ESE end of the other (ROG95 194).
What may be a stone-walled stell is situated on a terrace to the W of the buildings (NC 7061 0614).
