Full Description

SU 149:
The remains of this blackhouse are orientated from south-west to north-east and measure 10.8 x 6.8 metres. They have been heavily robbed to provide building stone, and survive as an earth core with occasional large stones. No entrance could be defined, and much of the south-western end had been destroyed by the construction of the modern road located immediately to the south.
