Monument record MHG6036 - Lusta (Westside)

NG25NE 16.21 2689 5622.

There are three buildings and an enclosure at the head of a croft on the S side of the Lusta Burn, immediately W of the public road to Waternish. One of the buildings is shown as roofed on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey map of 1880 (Island of Skye &c., Inverness-shire, 1880, sheet xv); a two-compartment sub-rectangular structure, it measures 11.5m from ENE to WSW by 3.9m transversely within rubble-faced walls 1.1m in thickness and 1m in height. A mortar-bonded party wall has been inserted, and there is an outshot 4m in length to the W. Immediately S of this there is a smaller building, which lies at right-angles to that depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (ibid). To the N of these two, a third building, 11.2m from NW to SE by 2.9m transversely, has both round and square angles and entrances in both the NW end and SW side, suggesting more than one phase of construction. Indeed the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey map (ibid) shows a shorter building at this location.
