NS 061 666 Building remains: Located in rough grass field on N side of march burn, close to fence. There are 2 sub-rectangular buildings 100m apart. The lower building is entirely grass covered wall footings, 5.2 x 3.5m over tops, narrowing a bit towards lower end. The upper building is a stone structure with some clearance material added. There is an old dyke close by. No record.

NS 061 696. Site 196, Stuck (South)
In a rough grass field on the north side of the burn are the remains of two buildings 60m apart. The lower survives as sub-rectangualr earth banked wall-footings 5.3 x 3.5m, narrowing a bit toward the upper end. The upper is a sub-rectangular stone structure to which clearance has been added. there are no previous records and the dating is very uncertain.
E Proudfoot and A Hannah 2000.
What is probably a hut, less likely some type of cairn, is situated immediately N of an un-named burn in moorland 620m SSW of Stuck farmsteading (NS07SE 21). Roughly rectangular on plan, it measures 3.7m from E to W by 3.1m transversely over a rubble wall, which in part comprises, especially on the S and E, edge-set stones up to 0.8m in height. The grass-grown spread of rubble across the interior of the hut contains a small slab that is set on edge.
The turf building that lies 60m ENE of the hut and is mentioned in previous accounts is described elsewhere (see NS06NE 381).
