Full Description

"Fragmentary remains of a blackhouse on Cromore croft 13. A second smaller structure to the north may represent a barn or a later blackhouse (33.48). The remains of this structure are of a size more generally associated with pre-crofting blackhouses in the area. This house may have seen use/re-use into the crofting period." (Burgess 2004, 160)
