Full Description
Centred NC 794 050.
The footings of a house, enclosures, a corn-drying kiln, numerous clearance heaps and a possible hut circle are on this SW-facing hillside, within a still evident head dyke and foot dyke. There are also signs of rig cultivation, but the site is infested with bracken and heather, making mapping of the features impossible at date of visit.

Note; The DBA and walkover survey was carried out by RoCAS in 2014 on behalf of Scottish Water from Loch Farlary to Bridge of Horn, Golspie, in advance of the proposed construction of a new water main, suggests that the co-ordinates for this settlement are incorrect and refer to the farmstead approximately 300 metres to the south west (MHG63529). <1> (TB 8/11/24)
