At the top of a small wooded knoll near Tullachroisk are the slight remains of a homestead consisting of a low grass-covered bank, 4.0m wide and 0.5m high, enclosing an area 15.0m in diameter. Sections of the outer face of the wall are visible, and on the W side there are several large grounders. There is an entrance gap on the E which is covered on its N by a curving bank 10.0m long.

Surveyed at 1:10,000.

A Glen Lyon-type homestead surmounting a low wooded knoll overlooking good agricultural land. Near circular on plan, it measures 24.5m E-W by 25.0m N-S overall. The outer wall face can be seen for much of the periphery, and occasional inner facing stones protruding through the turf give a wall thickness of 4.3m in the N, 5.0m in the W, and 4.5m in the S. The mutilated entrance is in the E. From its N side a turf-covered bank, possibly contemporary, curves to the E for 10.0m.

Surveyed at 1:10,000.

Visited by OS (AA) 30 October 1974
