Archaeology Notes

NS06NW 124 04257 68792

This building stands in rough moorland on the N side of an un-named stream that has cut a craggy, steep-sided gully into the W flank of Muirton Hill. Rectangular on plan, it measures 8m from NE to SW by 3.2m transversely over a stone wall about 0.8m in thickness but reduced to no more than 0.3m in height. The inner face of this wall is, at least in part, formed by edge-set stones.
