Blackhouse/chapel
This rectilinear structure measures 9.0 x 4.0 metres and is orientated north to south. The walls are of drystone construction surviving up to 1.3 metres high and 0.8 metres wide. The presence of a manse on the map may suggest that this is the site of an old church backed up against a bedrock ridge thgouh from its form it could just as easily be a pre-crofting blackhouse.
