Full Description
Remains of farmstead comprising three buildings, an enclosure and a kiln-barn. To the southeast are three buildings terraced into slope in varying degrees and measuring no more than 5.8m by 2.2m within stony footings 0.6m thick and 0.3m in height. Kiln-barn measures 10.4m by 3.3m within wall footings 0.8m thick and 0.3m in height. The kiln-bowl is 2m in diameter and 0.75m in height in four courses. Of the buildings in northeast, one has been truncated by a track while another has what may be a small bed-neuk or alcove, 1.4m wide, and an outshot to the east. Fragmentary ridging measuring up to 6m between furrows is visible in the improved ground to the north. It is not depicted on either of the 1st or 2nd edition OS maps. Recorded by the Royal Commission, 2nd July 1991. The remains were recorded by CFA in 2012 during walkover survey in connection with access upgrading for proposed windfarm.
