Full Description
Remains of three longhouses, measuring 10 m by 4 m, associated with garden plots and stone clearance heaps. There are possible cultivation ridges within the moorland running towards the river. A head dyke and two further longhouses are set amongst the moorland. Walkover survey by Highland Archaeology Services along the river Dee in 2023 (NO08NW0055) encompassed the part of this site within 10 m of the river, but no features were noted.
