Full Description
Depopulated settlement, comprising three longhouses and two enclosures with rig and furrow. A complex system of rig and furrow is enclosed and subdivided by low dykes into six fields. The rigs run down from a substantial longhouse with kailyard, while there are also two longhouses further upslope. A square stone-walled sheepfold overlies the northeast corner of the system. This complex covers an area of 15ha and appears to mark the limit of settlement in the glen.
