Full Description

Grouse Butt.
This partly degraded, U-shaped grouse butt is set into the S peat bank of a small un-named burn and the walls have been breached in two places. The best-preserved peat walls survive on the sides to 0.8m high and are 0.7m thick. The entrance opens to 334 degrees, directly onto the burn, which is immediately behind the butt. <1>
