Archaeology Notes

NY07NE 42 0827 7656

This famstead, which has been recorded on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2002), comprises a farmhouse and a detached courtyard steading. The farmhouse is a three-bay, two story roofless building with an adjacent garden enclosure. The steading lies to the SSE and comprises three buildings, two of which are roofed, ranged around a courtyard. There is a sheepfold and enclosure to the W of the steading. The farmstead is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Dumfriesshire 1861, sheet L).
