Full Description
The remains of a house depicted as roofed on historic OS maps was recorded during a walkover survey by AOC Archaeology Group in 2012 in advance of the possible use of the immediate area as a borrow pit for the Burn of Whilk windfarm development. It measured c.11m x 5m. A small extension or building platform was noted extending from the southeast end. It was thought to be later than the other building to the southwest (see MHG55799) and probably dated to the mid C19. A well is shown just to the southwest. <1>
This building is not shown on the OS 2nd Edition.
