Full Description

At Lurga there are several ruined buildings of drystone construction, one at least of which appears to have been used for the processing of rock from the lead mine 0.5km to the W (NM75NW 4). This building is oblong on plan, measuring 5.5m by 3.6m over walls 0.8m in thickness; a water conduit, supplied from the neighbouring burn, ran diagonally through the building immediately below floor level.
