Full Description

SU 110:
The ephemeral remains of this dismantled blackhouse lie immediately to the west of house SU 119, and are orientated from north to south measuring ca 12 x 6 metres.
Interpretation: If these features do mark the remains of a house they show the location of a structure deliberately dismantled to provide building stone for another house, possibly SU 119 located immediately to the east.
