Full Description
Remains of a longhouse. On a small shelf are rectangular footings which represent the remains of a medieval or later longhouse. The ends of structure are rounded. The remains of a field or enclosure wall extends to the south from the end of the wall. These foundations are heather covered although some attempt has been made to cut the heather off. A second smaller structure, circa 4 m by 3 m lies circa 20 m to the southeast, with a possible third heather-covered structure lying between them. A few stones show through the heather.
