Two photographs (linked to this record) of the most southerly ruined longhouse were included in a Fieldwork Report for a Watching Brief undertaken immediately to the SW of the site <2>. The longhouse is outwith the development area and will not be impacted by this development. It is presumed that this longhouse is one of the two mentioned by Mercer (<1>) although this cannot be guaranteed.
