Full Description
R. Spencer-Jones and M. Marshall of Nosas conducted a field survey around the area of Lynmore and Foregin in 2018.
Lynmore
The settlement of Lynmore (alternative name Wester Forrigen on 1808 estate map) sits on a glacial terrace at an altitude of 390m, overlooking improved ground to the south and a small burn to the east. It comprises a farm building, a steading, an enclosure and a further/?earlier building. All the buildings are roofed on the 1st Edition OS map; a settlement appears on an estate map of 1808 in this location; it is named Wester Forregin.
Garden – approximately 10m SE of the main farm building a rectangular enclosure, 22m by 16.5m, probably represents a previous garden. The enclosure is orientated SE-NW, and open at the NW side. The remaining three sides are represented by 1m spread of low stone and turf walls, up to 0.5m high. The SE wall sits on a constructed stone terrace above the land sloping steeply away to the SE, this stonework best seen at the SW corner. <1>
