Field Visit (5 December 1996)
Two buildings and an enclosure, which are situated on the haughland of the Water of Feugh, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/36, no.13). Both buildings have stone walls. The W building measures 8m by 4m and has a single partition. The E building is smaller, measuring 6m by 3m with a small structure attached to the W end. The enclosure measures 22m from NE to SW by 9m and is divided in half with a further sub-division on the SW. It has previously been described under (NO59SE 13).
