Full Description
The site was visited and photographed by R Spencer-Jones of NOSAS on the 7th of May 2014. He described the site as:
"Just above the present water level of Loch Mullardoch, at its western end, lies the ruins of a structure consisting of two components aligned east-west:
The 3m square, smaller, western, stone-built component is built into a bank on its western side, so that its west wall is 1.5m high, and 1.3m below ground level. As the bank into which it is built slopes steeply down to the east, the eastern side of this building is roughly at ground level. There is an entrance doorway to the second component at the south end of the east wall.
The second, eastern component is larger, 8m x 3m, with its western wall consisting of the eastern end of the western structure. From this stone wall two low earthen banks run east-west. There is no obvious eastern wall. There are no obvious stones in these ruined walls, so they may have been original earthen walls. There is a doorway in the southern wall, 5m from the eastern end.
There are associated enclosure walls, adjacent to the SE corner of the above structure. A newer roughly square enclosure, 19m x 15m, with no opening, is partially surrounded by the older walls of a previous broken enclosure. See associated plan." <1>
