Full Description
Three rectangular structures were identified during a survey of Glen Avon. The largest measures 21m by 5m in extent and its walls still stand up to 1m in height. It is subdivided into three, separate, rooms. Two more buildings, each made up of a single compartment, lie to the north and the north-east respectively. Together, these buildings probably represent the remains of a farmstead. Evidence of cultivation can also be seen nearby in the form of lazy-beds. This farmstead was already in ruins by the time the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map was surveyed in 1871. It may be of some antiquity: it was shown on Roy's military map of 1747-55, where it was named 'Lyncorn': areas of cultivation are shown to the south of the buildings.
