Old House, Stanygill Burn: On a narrow promontory between Black Grain and Dow Sike, at the point where they join Stanygill Burn, there is a sheepfold with two small, rectangular stone structures on its W side. The N and W walls of the more northerly of these show constructional features suggesting they once formed two sides of a small 16th century house. Jeffrey, mentioning a corner of wall "of great thickness and strength" still standing here, calls this "Puddingburn Ha'".
Close by, on the SE, the promontory is crossed by a low eastern bank, without ditch or entrance, which may be contemporary.
