Full Description
At least three ruinous buildings running in a linear north-west to south-east alignment, of which only the rough stone foundations partially remain. The buildings appear on the 1st Edition OS Map, and so date at latest to 1882. There is no indication on this map, or any subsequent maps, of what the function of these buildings may be, or their relationships to one another, nor can any be definitively inferred from studying aerial photographs or on-site photographs. They may possibly have been crofting buildings.
A photographic record was carried out by James MacDonald-Brown as part of a condition on a planning application to reposition a house. <1>
