Monument record MHG28470 - Achadh na Teanga

NC60NE 17.02 6622 0742

This group of structures, overgrown with grass and bracken, is located on the N bank of the Allt Achadh na Teanga, about 250m to the W of the main concentration of settlement in the township of Achadh na Teanga (NC60NE 17.00). There are two buildings, the larger one partly overlain by a corn-drying kiln, and the remains of two small enclosures. The larger building (ROG95 569) has measured at least 10.9m ENE to WSW by 4.4m transversely over a faced-rubble wall 0.7m thick. It has an outshot attached to each side and an entrance on the SSE. The kiln is built over the WSW end of the building; it has a bowl measuring 1.4m in diameter and 0.5m in depth within a wall 0.7m thick (ROG95 568). These structures stand on the S side of an enclosure, which measures 50m E to W by 30m N to S within a stony bank. To the S a second bank cuts off a bend in the burn, thus enclosing a roughly triangular area measuring up to 100m NE to SW by 90m transversely. The second building (ROG95 570) is built onto this bank, about 20m SW of the kiln. It measures 5.9m N-S by 2.6m transversely within a stony bank spread to 0.6m in thickness. There is no clear entrance and a sheep track runs across the interior.
