Field Visit (10 April 1997 - 10 April 1997)
A small round-ended turf and stone building c5m by c2m with walls c0.5m wide and less than 0.3m high is situated on a slight break of slope on the hillside above and NE of Kintail Lodge. A large boulder forms its E end.
The burn that flows W-wards c100m SW of this structure has a stone revetted dyke c0.7m wide and c0.4m high along its N bank. This seems to be a more substantial boundary than the dyke c 400m to the S (KIN045) and may relate to the period of sheep farming.
