Full Description
The remains of a group of 6 buildings were recorded in woodland at Kirkton. Seven buildings are shown on 1st edition Ordnance Survey mapping of the area, 1 of which could not be traced on the ground. The buildings largely survive as low footings (<c.0.5m in height) but one building, with mortared stonework, survives to a much greater height. Kirkton was “cleared” of 4 sub-tenants of the hotelkeeper c.1872. <1>
Two buildings, not shown on modern Ordnance Survey mapping, are shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey mapping. The remains of one of these was located, but the building to the SE could not be identified. <2>
