Full Description
Lying to the east of the Scaladal Burn at a height of 76m OD is a ruined long house which has been converted into a sheep fank, the original doorway in the east side has been blocked and a new entrance has been broken through the south end. Two funneling walls have been added to the south end to direct sheep through the new entrance. The long house/fank measures 13.6m by 6.6m overall with a wall 1.4m wide. A smaller rectangular structure lies 37m to the north, which measures 5.3m by 3.9m overall with a wall 1.1m wide. A well cut channel leads from the burn past this structure. Rig cultivation lies all around.
