Full Description

Longhouse; Byre; Enclosure
On both sides of the modern wire fence at about 40 m OD is a ruinous group of turf and stone structures, comprising a longhouse aligned E-W with a second structure, perhaps a byre, attached by a short length of turf dyke to its SE corner. The two structures form the NE side of a turf dyked enclosure. A curving length of turf dyke leads off the southern corner of this enclosure, terminating in a marshy area 30 m to the south.

R. Miket, October 1989

This RCAHMS entry was from 1989 and the recent walkover survey found different results. Firstly an area has been quarried and a substantial amount of material removed from the area of the monument. The partial remains of a turf walled building on an E-W alignment was noted as were the remnants of a piece of field bank possibly part of the enclosure mentioned by the RCAHMS. A modern structure of wood and corrugated iron had been constructed to the east of the site area. AOC
