A proposal for a residental development at two adjacent abandoned farms (Townhead and Barnethead) prompted a field evaluation of the sites archaeological potential.

The derelict, roofless building is thought to date from the 16th or 17th century [NT53SE 239] although it is known to have been occupied well into 20th century. It is a single-storey building probably with a loft in its roof space although no evidence survived
