Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 3 July 1996.
Site was visited by NOSAS in 2012 – 13 during a survey of part of the Corrybrough Estate. The township comprises four buildings, an enclosure and a substantial corn drying kiln this township straddles the remains of a wall (an “offshoot” of wall CB1). The wall footings are of stone and up to 0.4m height, many are overgrown with juniper bushes. The kiln bowl appears large; its extent could not be determined because of the dense growth of juniper. A hut circle lies to the SW. <1>
