Full Description

Surrounding Land Status code - C

Structures 2 & 2B lie to the northwest of croft 3 on the south facing slope above the bay. Surviving today as two separate houses with a common wall, these structures appear as one house and a barn on the 1895 Ordnance survey 25" map. It would seem likely that structure 2b is the original building on the sit and that structure 2, a building with a chimneyed gable, became the primary structure when it was extended from the barn at 2b.
Structure 2 measures 20m by 7m.
