Full Description
Immediately to the ESE of the small burn is a hollow in the bank c.2-3m deep, 3.2m N-S and 2.3m wide. The W edge has been enclosed by a low tumbled wall c. 1.75m long and 0.5m wide; the S end is slightly curved. On the NNE edge of the hollow there is a short section of wall face which suggests there may have been a revetted wall, it is difficult to trace further around the bank. To the W this revetted wall has tumbled into a gap between the bank and the surviving enclosing wall.
The remains of the structure are very tumbled but it appears to have been a building. Given the position of the building and its poor survival it is possible that it was an illicit still, these were generally in hidden locations and temporary structures. <1>
