Field Visit (5 June 1987)
Situated on the gently-sloping SE flank of Knockali there are the heather-covered remains of a building which measures about 17m E-W by 6.8m in width at the W end and 8.3m in width at the E end over walls reduced to a bank about 1.5m thick and 0.2m high. On the S side the central section of the wall has been pushed out and there are traces of what may be a cross-wall 9.8m from the E end; the position of the entrance was not identified.

Field Visit (25 November 2015)
Alder Archaeology was commissioned by John Clegg & Co, Chartered Surveyors and Forestry Agents to undertake a desk-based assessment and walkover survey on the site of a proposed forestry development at Drumfork, Blacklunans, near Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross. The walkover (Alder site code (BW09) was done on 25 November 2015 in mainly dry, windy weather condition. The site had previously been surveyed by the RCAHMS in 1987-8 and only one additional site was recorded: a short stretch of drystone wall beside a rock outcrop, possibly part of a shelter.
