Full Description

NM66NE 12 687 651

NM 687 651 Close to the head dyke of the Salen farm town are two rectangular buildings set almost at right angles to one another. These measure 10.4 x 4.4m and 8.8 x 4.2m. Only the foundation courses in stone and turf remain.
It was impossible to measure wall thickness or locate entrances, and the only distinctive features were somewhat rounded corners.
