There appear to be the remains of an old settlement here, consisting of a low turf wall running S.E. for 17 yards with a gap of 11 yards, and then a further 24 yards in the same direction. A short distance further down there is a turf wall 2 feet high running N.N.W for 21 yards where there is a right-angle corner, after which it runs down hill for 13 yards. Here there is a gap of 6 feet, and then the stone footings of the gable of a building on the same line. The opposite gable is 6 yards long and situated 9 yards to the S.S.W. 28 yards downhill and towards the north, there is a turf wall 22 yards long and running from West to East. 7 yards down from the east end of this fail dyke there are the stone footings of a build with an outside measurement of 13 yards x 5 yards. This building runs downhill and has a doorway facing south near the S.E. corner. There are stone footings of an adjoining structure on the same line. at the lower end.
