Full Description
Remains of a cottage and possible site of a souterrain (Wainwright's Airle IV). According to the 19th century antiquary Jervise, a souterrain at Barns of Airlie, was destroyed long before 1862 and a cottage was built on the site. A cottage is shown on the OS maps from the 1st edition OS map onwards. The site was pointed out to Wainwright, it lies on the south slope of a ridge and is well-drained, and in all respects suitable for a souterrain. When visited by the OS in 1977, the footings of a small rectangular building, probably the remains of the cottage were recorded. It is still shown as ruinous on the 2006 map.
