Full Description
NF77SW 24 7498 7135.
An aisled round-house with outbuildings, all lying within an enclosure wall. The site, which overlies the west end of the chambered cairn (NF77SW 15), was excavated by Scott in the 1930's and 1940's and pottery, now in NMAS, indicated a date at the end of the 1st century BC, although sherds dating to the 5th-6th century's AD were also recovered. W L Scott 1935 and 1948; L Scott 1950; L Laing 1975.
The round house is 7.5m in diameter within a wall c. 2.2m thick and c. 1.2m high, with four piers still standing in its north arc. The oubuildings and enclosure wall are barely 0.4m high.
