NS 056 702 Settlement remains: Located on sloping, elevated ground above E Kyle, below Peat Hill. Just below head dyke. There are foundations and some wall of 2 houses, probably of different ages. The upper is on a mound, stone built, 7 x 3m, narrowing towards the ends. The lower has only earth banks for wall footings, sunken centre, 9x3m narrowing at lower end, with opening in lower gable. No records.

NS 056 702 Site 195 Stuck (west)
Just below the head dyke under Peat Hill are the remains of two buildings. the upper is on a mound, stone built, 7x3m narrowing at each end. The lower has earth banked sub-rectangular wall footings 9x3m, narrowing to the lower end and with an opening in the lower gable. The site is previously unrecorded and dating is uncertain, but it was probably a medieval butt of Stuck.
E Proudfoot and A Hannah 2000.
Two rectangular buildings, each standing on a low natural mound, are situated in rough ground 450m WSW of Stuck farmsteading (NS07SE 21). The first building, which was partly obscured by bracken on the date of visit, measures 7.7m from NNE to SSW by 3.7m transversely over poorly defined stone wall-footings about 1.2m in thickness and up to 0.4m in height. A fragmentary grass-grown bank connects this building to another, some 35m to the NE. The second building, which was also obscured by bracken on the date of visit, measures 11.2m from NE to SW by 5.1m transversely over stone walls 1.3m in thickness and up to 0.5m in height. It contains three compartments, that at the NE end possibly being a later extension, and that at the SW end having a slightly higher floor level.
