Full Description
Remains of a farmstead and associated field system at Berriedale. They consist of at least two buildings and a series of enclosures bounded by dykes. A large concentration of clearance cairns, of an appearance normally associated with earlier hut circles, lies to the west of the buildings. There are no hut circles visible in the area. All the features are visible in vertical aerial photographs taken in 2009. <1>
