Full Description
A farmstead is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map c.1872-3. By the early 20th century a horse engine had been added to the northern side of the northernmost building. <1><2>
Photographs of the croft/farmstead buildings were submitted to the HER in March 2010 in order to comply with a condition on planning consent. The buildings are to be retained on the site. <3>
A cup marked stone was reportedly found in the porch of the crofthouse and is still present on the site - see MHG39809. <4>
