Archaeology Notes

NH54SE 50 553 425

NH 44/54 OS 553425 No. 104 Lyne.

An elongated sunken area 16 yards x 8 yards dug into and running up the steep hillside. It is now bowl-shaped, the centre being 5 feet below the level of the rim. It had a caber-type roof and was constructed as a store for barley which may not have been un¬connected with the illicit distillation of whisky in this immediate area during the second half of the last century.

Coghill et al 1989
