Archaeology Notes

ND13SE 13 1521 3104.

(ND 152 310) On a low mound about 120 yds W of ND13SE 11 are the indefinite and scanty remains of some structure which, judging from the upright pillars remaining, has probably been a galleried dwelling.

RCAHMS 1911, visited 1910.

As described by the RCAHMS, probably the amorphous remains of a 'wag' or homestead, at ND 1521 3104.

Site surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (N K B) 11 March 1968.

OS 25" map, (1969)

On an uncultivated rise in a field are three spaced earth-fast slabs, 0.5m high, in alignment along their broad faces. These slabs do not give the appearance of having been part of an aisled or galleried dwelling but rather they suggest wall-facing remains of an 18th / 19th century abandoned building. There is a stony character to the rise, but this may be attributed, in part, to field clearance stone.

Visited by OS (J M) 11 November 1982.
