Full Description
NH56SW 31 535 641
This pre-improvement settlement survives as low stone wall spreads (1-2m wide), which are completely grassed over. The settlement is focused on a long house (33m by 5m) oriented NE-SW with two internal partitions. At its SW end is a second smaller house or byre (14 by 5m), which was oriented NW-SE. Nearby, to SW, is a probable grain drying kiln and to the NE a substantial stone enclosure which measures 24 by 14m and is oriented NW-SE. A number of less prominent field walls extend from the settlement away from the river.
Visited June 1989.
Info from S T Driscoll and S M Foster (Mss, 5, No. 4.1.) 1989.
