Full Description
Mutilated, rough pasture, hill terrace, SE aspect, altitude 80-90m OD.
SMR card.
NM39NW 9 centred 334 959
Situated on a terrace overlooking the township of Harris (NM39NW 8), and mutilated by the formation of later cultivation ridges, there are the remains of at least eight buildings. One may overlie an earlier building, and the appearance of the others suggests that they represent more than one period of construction.
Visited by RCAHMS, June 1983.
The largest building is 15m by 4m, with three compartments. The smallest building is c7.2m by4.5m. There appears to be two or three longer buildings (houses?) and six smaller structures. Also one small circular building c3m in diameter.
NMRS, MS/868/1.
Two unroofed buildings are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire, Islands of Rum, Sanday etc., 1879, sheet lxvi). Four unroofed buildings are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1975).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 6 December 1996.
