Archaeological Evaluation (8 July 2015 - 31 July 2015)
NH 7115 8485 A programme of work was undertaken, 8–31 July 2015, to fulfil a planning condition in advance of development. The remains of a croft house were recorded. This was constructed from dry stone and was in a poor condition, surviving only up to a maximum of 1.4m high. It was formed of random rubble double-skinned walls but had some dressed sandstone blocks amongst the extensive tumble. A gap on the S side appears to have been an entrance but this showed no sign of dressed stone. One blocked window survived on the S wall to the E of the doorway. It is likely there would have also been a matching window to the W of the door but this had been lost due to tumble. Seven trial trenches were opened covering a total of 170m2. Three negative features were identified: two shallow ditches and the ephemeral foundations of a mortared wall.
