The spur between the Crunie Burn and the Third Inchna Burn is covered by a patchwork of cultivation remains and settlement. The farmstead of Jerah (63.01) is situated on the E bank of the Crunie Burn and has provided the focus for recent settlement. A further building at Red Brae (NS 89 NW 53) dates to the 19th century. Two buildings (63.04) on a terrace higher up the hill and a group of turf-walled buildings (63.05) and huts (63.06) at the NE side of the spur are earlier in date. The field-system (63.02) comprises two distinct phases. An Improvement-period field-system occupies the lower ground and has slighted elements of an earlier field-system which lies on the higher ground. This pre-Improvement field-system has two distinct phases and includes traces of at least two distinct types of rig. What may be buchts for managing sheep lie at two locations on the spur (63.03, 63.06).
