A field visit was carried out by Mott Macdonald on the 15th of February 2021 in advance of felling works at Loganhead Forest. The survey was specifically targeting the previously recorded township by the RCAHMS in 1981.
Limited evidence was discovered. The archaeological report notes that no features were identified, but that a stone built structure was found at NY 30809 86222. This structure appears to match the location of a building depicted on the 2nd edition 6" OS map.
The structure is constructed from small to medium angular slabs, topped by a rough soldier course of medium sized rounded field stones to a full height of c.1.10m (Photo 5.5). It comprises a small compartment, aligned north-west to south-east and measuring 7m by c.2.2m and is open at south-east end. The stub of curving wall abuts the south-west corner of the compartment, gently curving to south-west itself for c.3m.
