Full Description
Remains of a building, probably a longhouse, recorded by Bennachie Landscapes Fieldwork Group in February 2016, surviving as stone footings of the building, with possible internal dividing walls. It measures circa 17m by 5m externally, with a possible yard to the west. The structure does not appear on the OS 1st edition map, although a track runs from the nearby Turnpike Road to this area. Lidar images indicate an area of rig and furrow east of the turnpike.
