Full Description

Renumbered from NN49NE0010

Two long, rectangular building footings, oriented north-south and parallel to each other. Each building has four compartments, each 2m square. The entrance to each compartment faces onto a 'street' formed by the two buildings.
There are three other building footings just to the north and the west of these. These are less distinct, but appear to be L-shaped and could be shieling-huts. A possible trackway leads up the east side of the burn towards a bridge on a diversion of the military road (NN49NE0003).
All the buildings lie on a very gently sloping area, close to a burn, the south-east side of which has been revetted. The military road passes immediately to the south of the multi-compartment buildings. Their orientation would suggest that they are related to this routeway (rather than to the possible trackway running north). A modern fence line lies between the south end of the buildings and the military road.
