Site Type:Blackhouse
A partion wall at the south east end may be original, and creates a room 3.2 by 2.1m with no external doorway. The main doorway appears to be in the north east wall. There are secondary built walls in the north west end of the building, possibly lambing pens. To the front of the building a circular stone setting 1.7 m diam. to one side of the door, and a wall 5 m long projects northwards on the other side to create a small yard area. Blackhouse.
