Tubeg (current spelling) consists of a large, well built dwelling standing roof high, with gable ends, internal division and chimney intact. In addition there are three associated outbuildings of dry-stone walling up to 2.0m high. The close grouping of these remains suggests that they are those of a single farm. At Easter Tubeg are the remains of two rectangular structures of dry-stone walling up to 1.7m high. Approximately 120.0m to the SSW immediately adjoining the S side of a path is another rectangular foundation with walls up to 0.3m high. Visited by OS (R D L) 18 May 1962.
Tubeg and Easter Tubeg are as described above. Traces of concrete on window spaces and doorway confirm the relatively recent desertion of Tubeg. Former cultivation is evident, adjacent to both sides.
Revised at 1:10,000.
