Field Visit (10 September 1997 - 10 September 1997)
This round-ended building aligned N/S, measuring c5m by c3m with turf-covered drystone walls c0.7m wide and up to 1m high, survives largely intact, apart from its roof. The collapsed material within the building suggests the roof has fallen in and there is no sign of collapse externally. In the S gable is a window c0.5m high by c0.3m wide.
This is one of the best preserved structures in the area and is presumed to be a bothy.
