T C Welsh 1973; Information contained in letter and plan from T C Welsh to OS 12 July 1973
This alleged homestead appears as a braken-covered stony mound of indeterminate size and shape. There are some set stones on the east fringe of the mound but these form no indentifiable pattern. The classification as a "probable homestead" is doubtful.
Visited by OS (NKB) 16 September 1977
