Field Visit (10 April 1997 - 10 April 1997)
The OS survey of 1874 showed a roofed building here that was still roofed in 1902. Another building was shown c40m to the E in 1902. Nothing was shown on the OS survey of 1971. Neither building could be seen during the present survey and they probably lie under the modern road. Nevertheless, traces of former garden ground can be seen as well as a short length of the route of the track shown on the 1st and 2nd ed OS maps.
This may be the site of the original croft house at Lub an Eorna, replaced (by KIN009) during the early 20th century. However it was probably established only in the late 18th or 19th centuries as nothing was shown on Roy's survey here.

Field Visit
Some distance to the west of the site of the building NH01SW8 is an irregular enclosure, c200m by c80m. Originally a building stood within it, as depicted on the 1st ed OS map of 1874, but this is no longer visible.
Presumably this area too was part of the Lub an Eorna croft, see NH01SW4 & 7. (NTS KIN007-012)
