Full Description
"Site of very large blackhouse on Cromore croft (17?). This structure had been recently demolished before the 2003 survey. The exceptional size and form of this structure as marked on a modern Ordnance Survey map suggests it was a dwelling dating to the pre-crofting period." (Burgess 2004, 157)
