Within the field-system that extends along the foot of the W flank of Lairdside Knowe there are several shieling-huts.
(formerly NT12NW 4.02.01)
A group of at least four rectangular huts and a circular enclosure are situated around the stone stell at the foot of Lairside Knowe. What may be a kiln lies about 20m to the E (NT 1522 2770); two more buildings lie a further 40m SE (NT 1526 2766), but a third depicted in the Peeblesshire Inventory (RCAHMS 1967) is no more than a mound of stones.
(formerly NT12NW 4.02.02)
This shieling-hut is situated at NT 1504 2795, in an angle between the Stone Grain Hope Burn and the scarp that forms the S side of the gully that it meanders through. The hut was obscured by dense bracken at the date of visit but may have two compartments.
