Full Description

A building platform was noted at NA 99425 27724, measuring 8.8 x 4.5m, on a north to south alignment. While the northern edge of this structure was indistinct, the southern edge was visible as a line of mossed-over drystone boulders, with a possible entrance in the southwest corner. This probably represented the remains of an animal shelter or outbuilding, perhaps associated with the nearby blackhouse (smr 15023)
