Full Description

NM56SE 13 5775 6190
------
Two structures are situated in a field on the N side of Camas Fearna. At NM 5785 6187 is a small structure, 5m square, defined by walls, 0.70m wide and 0.70m high. An entrance opens in the W side. 10m E is a wall fragment, which may be part of an enclosure but is now completely swamped by brambles and bracken.

Some stone rubble in the garden of the adjacent modern house to the W, may be the remains of an early structure. The proprietor has found glass oil lamps and teapot spouts while digging in the garden and a natural boulder inscribed with initials may have been associated.
