The poorly preserved remains of four buildings were recorded on a SE facing ridge, c 220m W of Barabhaig sheepfold NG61SE 45, by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in November 2000 (site 18). The buildings are all aligned approximately NNE - SSW and are partly obscured by bracken. The site is dissected by a post and wire fence: three buildings lie SSW of the fence and the fourth lies c 24m NNE of it.
The first building, which is stituated at NG 69294 10178, is aligned NE - SW and measures 10m x 4m.
The second building lies 8m NNE and measures 7m x 3.5m.
The third building lies 5m NNE and measures 10m x 3.5m.
The post and wire fence is 4m NNE of the third building.
The fourth building lies a further 24m NNE of the fence and measures 7m x 3.5m.
It was suggested that these buildings may form a separate part of the pre-improvement township of Barabhaig to those described in NG60NE 27.
