Indeterminate Remains, Faulds: On a rocky prominence overlooking a steep slope, just west of dyke. Vestiges of a wall round the prominence forms an oval overall 18m N-S by 35m. A rectangular foundation, 7m by 16m is on the summit.
T C Welsh 1975.
for further details see MS/1508.
This location has been identified as a quarried outcrop at the top of a steep NW-facing slope 480m W of Faulds farmsteading. The wall described by Welsh (1975) could not be found and his rectangular structure is simply a fortuitous arrangement of quarry spoil.
