Field Visit (16 October 2015)
NG 43243 73338 Pair of byres, listed in 1982 as being thatched and noted as being ‘in use’. The listed building description reads ‘19th or early 20th century, pair traditional Skye byres, one single bay, one 2 bay. Rubble, round corners, piended thatched roofs’. Both byres are now roofless ruins, their walls reaching only a few feet from the ground. No visible evidence of any thatch or roof structure remains. The listing description should be updated accordingly.
