Monument record 10392 - ECC 56.4 Torastay

"Situated on the north-eastern slopes of Cnocan Biorach between blackhouse (56.3) and enclosure complex (55.3) the fragmentary remains of this blackhouse are orientated from south to north and measure 6 x 5 metres. Surviving primarily at the southern end as a rebuilt enclosure measuring 3 x 4 metres the remains of the larger, original building can be seen as wall footings underneath and to the north of the current building. The full size and phase of this building cannot be established, though the presence of a number of late pre-crofting and crofting blackhouses in the immediate vicinity (56.1, 56.2, 56.3) suggests that structure might date to the pre-crofting rather than the crofting period."
