Glac Mhor, Samhnan lnsir NG 373 043 NG30SE
Occupying a terrace on the N side of an unnamed stream 450m W of Samhnan lnsir, there is an abandoned farmstead comprising three buildings and an enclosure. The W building is a roofless 19th-century cottage. The central building is a drystone cottage with rounded outer angles measuring 8.3m by 3.7m within a wall 1 m thick and up to 1.5m high; the doorway is on the S. The remaining cottage is of drystone construction with rounded angles and measures 7m by 3.2m within a wall 1.1m thick and up to 1.6m high; there is a buttress on the Wend. The doorway is in the E half of the S wall and it is flanked by a single window on each side. There is an aumbry in the E gable, and on the N wall five cruck-slots can be seen about 1m above the present floor level.
