Platform, Barrance. West of the farm house, within the 400ft contour, the angle of a platform built out from the slope to nearly 2m in height at the corner, is evident for 110m on NW and 55m on NE. The farm buildings are built into it, but surface indications suggest a level platform, about 180m square emerging from the slope.
