Site 17. Ruined house with attached byre with byre drain. There are two rooms in the house. The whole building is surrounded by an enclosing wall which attaches to the crag under which the ruin lies. There is an E facing doorway and a window still evident, but no chimney. A ditch runs the length of the building to remove runoff from the crag. A few metres uphill from the ruin are the footings of a small building. <1>
