Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 1 April 1996

In August 2015, a walkover survey was undertaken in Morangie Forest, Edderton by Anne Coombs on behalf of the Forestry Commission Scotland to identify and demarcate archaeological sites in advance of pre-thinning operations.

A long building lies to the NE of the unroofed structure (see MHG20851). It is c.12m N-S by c.4.5m wide with walls c.1m wide and c.0-60m high. It is covered with vegetation and some small deciduous trees. The settlement is recorded as an unroofed building from the time of the 1st Edition Survey up to and including the OS Six inch 1888-1913 maps. <1>
