This group of buildings known as Lower Barns is situated on the SW side of an oval enclosure about 80m NE of Eynhallow Church. They were described in some detail by J Storer Clouston (Mooney 1923, 74-5, 155, plan), who noted the presence of two kiln-barns and two stables, but all were overgrown on the date of visit. Three unroofed and a small roofed building set between the central and western buildings are shown on the 1st edition of the OS 25 inch map (Orkney Sheet LXXIX.7, 1882).
