While removing this ruin about 1830 there were found in the interior, a great quantity of ashes and burned stones, also a number of bronze buckles - five or six whole, and a few broken. The buckles were "in the shape similar to the shoe buckles worn by the Highlanders when dressed in Highland garb". They are now lost.
