Archaeology Notes

NN74NW 53 74900 47301.

A farmstead comprising four roofed buildings, one with an attached circular pecked line which may indicate a horse-gang, one partially roofed building and two unroofed buildings is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867, sheet xlviii). Five roofed buildings are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1978).

Information from RCAHMS (SAH), 28 October 1997.

This late-19th-century/early-20th-century farmstead has a U-shaped plan and comprises byres to the ENE (with the stalls intact), stables and a barn with milk house in double pile to the WSW, and a turnip house with a bothy above to the NNW. A cattle-court extension of c.1965 has been built within the yard and there is a detached c.1990 shed to the ENE. A farmhouse lies immediately to the NNW. The farmstead was visited in 2000.

Information from RCAHMS (SS), 14 March 2006.
