Full Description
The remains of a much ruined building. One gable wall remains standing, albeit in very poor condition. The remainder of the building survives to a few courses but is highly unstable. Internally it has been invaded by vegatation <1>, <2>
Surveyed by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in December 2009. This building uses varied rubble, roughly brought to course and bound by a lime mortar. The construction makes use of frequent pinning and checking stones. The building sub-divided into two compartments, with the gables partially preserved. The otherwise ruinous walls are reduced to below cill level and there is no obvious entrance. There is a probable fire place in NW gable. The walls of the building are 0.7m wide, comprising two faces with a rubble core.The structure is aligned NW-SE abutting a dry stone dyke at its SE end. This wall may form enclosure yard tied to building. <3>
