Monument record 10340 - ECC 33.13 Cromore (25)

"These fragmentary remains of a blackhouse are located on the croft 25 at Cromore, above the eastern shore of Loch Cromore. They measure 8 x 5 metres, are orientated from north-east to south-west and stand to a maximum height of 1.5 metres. The walls are constructed of stone faces with an earthen core, and the south-western wall has clearly been inserted when the structure was shortened, probably when the prefabricated house (34.2) was built. The presence of a single entrance, in the centre of the south-east facing wall, suggests that this remaining structure is the byre end of the house, with the dwelling located where the prefabricated building (34.2) now stands. A fragment of wall located 1 metre to the south of the prefabricated house (34.2) perhaps marks the south-western extent of this building giving former dimensions in the order of 15-18 x 5 metres. A later blocked opening can be seen in the current south-western wall." (Burgess 2004, 119)
