HY 4366 4313 A trial trenching evaluation was undertaken in February 2014 in advance of proposed development. The site consists of a series of ruinous 19th- to early 20th-century croft buildings and surrounding garden ground. The buildings occupy a mound of unknown origin in which shelly midden was exposed. The investigation determined that the knoll was

natural in origin. Traces of dry stone walling was uncovered below ground level in one trench; this extended beneath the standing buildings and may relate to an earlier phase of the croft.
