NN43SW 9 41380 32680
NN 41380 32680 Rectangular footings (Feature 4). Lying a few metres to the east of the riverside track there is a rectangular, two-compartment drystone building. It is orientated N-S and measures overall 7m by 4m and has a wall thickness of about 0.8m.
NN 41380 32690 Oval mound with possible footings (Feature 5). A low, 6m by 4m oval mound that is orientated NNE-SSW. Two E-W alignments of boulders and several individual rocks on the western side suggest that there was a structure on the site.
NN 41380 32670 Oval mound with sub-circular stone setting (Feature 6). A mound, possibly natural, on which there is a 2m diameter sub-circular arrangement of occasional boulders. This may have been a stack-stand.
NN 41390 32630 Possible footings (Feature 9). A scatter of boulders, many of which are moss-covered. Some of these may form artificial alignments but this is not certain.
NN 41400 32660 Sub-rectangular footings (Feature 10). A number of occasional small boulders form a rough rectangular on the ground. The feature is orientated N-S and it is a possibility that it is three-sided and open to the south.
NN 41400 32660 Possible small enclosure (Feature 11). Drystone footings of a 6.5m by 4m, possibly two-compartment building.
NN 41390 32630 Rectangular footings (Feature 12). A ruinous drystone building. It is orientated N-S and measures overall 5.5m by 4m. The walls are about 1m thick and 1m high at most.
NN 41370 32640 Possible oval feature (Feature 13). Possibility that the remains of an oval feature may be present. It is however extremely indistinct.
NN 41350 32600 Two-compartment rectangular structure (Feature 15). The drystone walls of this of this possible house are extant to a height of 1.5m. It is orientated NNE-SSW and measures overall 10m by 4.5m with the walls ranging in width from about 0.7m to 0.9m. The larger northern compartment has a floor area of 6m by 3m whilst the smaller is 3m by 1.5m.
NN 41330 32670 Sub-rectangular footings (Feature 37). Small, 4m by 2m, feature is orientated ENE-WSW.
NN 41310 32600 D-shaped footings (Feature 46). Several occasional boulders and an arc of bank define this scant feature.
