Archaeology Notes

ND34SW 493 ND 32313 40577

This farmstead, which is depicted roofed on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1876, sheet xxix; 1907, sheet xxix), is no longer inhabited. The principal building is a range aligned roughly E and W, which has been converted recently into a stable and hay-store. On the 1st edition of the map, the range is depicted with two small roofed structures, one immediately to the S and another about 15m to the NE. The later map shows neither of the two small buildings, but it does indicate that the range had been extended to the W.
