Full Description

An L-shaped building, probably a domestic building, is depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map c.1872 with an outbuilding to the north east. The outbuilding remains on the site and is known as the bothy. Modern mapping suggests that footings of the original house may also be present on the site. <1><2>

The bothy was photographed prior to renovations as a condition of planning consent. <3>
