Full Description

Single storey ruin comprising of a two bay, square plan rubble stone built house with central chimney stack. Later addition of rectangular concrete walled extension to north eastern wall. Original building was lime washed stone with later harling.
The building does not appaer on any 6" Ordnance Survey map sheets. Original building has a fire place of 1920's / 30's date, the extension has a fireplace possibly dating to the 1950's.
The square plan of the building is not usual form for farms or croft houses in the area and it seems likely this building was constructed in the early 20th century and may have been associated with the estate.
