NJ 9010 1244. On the E side of the track there is a pile of rubble including some 1m mengths of curved brickwork (about four bricks high and one brick wide). These remains are comparable to those at Mains of Grandhome (NJ 8995 1238).
A circle indicated on the OS 1:2500 map of 1867 has a diameter of 4m, may be the source of this rubble, and was possibly the base of a kiln, stack, silo or hopper.
NMRS, MS/992/5, visited 1 November 1998.
There is no change to the existing record.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, RJCM), 3 March 1999.
Information contained in a letter from David Paton, the owner of Grandhome estate, states that the curving brickwork at this location almost certainly derives from the base of a silo, which was removed from Mains of Grandhome farmsteading (NJ81SE 64).
