NR36SE 37 centred on 389 627

(NR 390 627) A group of five rectangular ruins of similar construction and probably age. They range in size from 4m by 4m to 19m by 4.5m. The walls which are bonded by lime-mortar stand up to 2.5m high. An unusually well preserved lime kiln 2m in diameter and 1.6m deep lies 130m S of the group, beside a burn. Another less well-defined example is about 40m NW of the group. Associated enclosures and banking are in the vicinity.
