Full Description

An L-shaped drystane structure with an east-facing entrance marked by stone uprights and a stone step 0.8m wide, 3m from the north-east corner. It abuts a roofed building to the north, but may originally pre-date it. It is 11.6m in total length N/S with its end walls rounded. The maximum width of the south gable end is 7.2m E/W with the N/S alignment 4.7m in length. The north end where it abuts the standing building is 6.7m E/W. A large natural schistic erratic has been used to form the NE corner. The walls stand to a height of up to 0.7m This is probably the remains of a sheiling re-used as a livestock enclosure. <1>
