Full Description

NH57NE 18 5813 7601

This farmstead is situated on rocky terrace c200m SE of Dalmore. It comprises two rectangular buildings, a kiln-barn and fragments of an enclosure. The better preserved building which is of two compartments, is reduced to little more than its foundation course and measures 15.8m from E to W by 5.3m overall. There are traces of an internal passage on its N side. The other building is severely robbed and measures 21m from N to S by 4.5m overall. N end has been heavily robbed but it appears that building was sub-divided. The kiln-barn, which is situated about 20m SE, is also extensively robbed, but still stands up to 1m high. A boulder stone wall connects kiln and the long building. Another such wall runs off from SE end of kiln-chamber into ground overgrown with gorse. Further such walls in the rocky ground to E may form an enclosure. Fragments of enclosure walls are also visible in the thick gorse cover around the farmstead.
