Archaeology Notes

Below the right of way and between the break of slope and the drain/burn that flows to Sron Dubh there are the remains of a small deserted farmstead. It consists of two rectangular structures, with an area of rig to their SW, and an enclosing stone dyke immediately to their NE. The NW structure is aligned E-W with its NE wall being formed by the enclosing dyke. The structure is c11.2m by c4m wide over walls c0.7m wide and up to c0.3m high. There is an internal division c5m from the W gable. Some 75m to the ESE is another drystone structure aligned SW-NE and measuring c9.4m by c4m over walls c0.7m wide and up to 0.5m high.

Immediately N of the right of way in this area are a series of large rectangular enclosures defined by grass covered stone dykes [INVG037]. They may originally have been associated.
