• LE011-125 Structure
  Description

  Situated at the inner (S) side of a lip at the outer edge of a shelf on the N-facing slope of the Leean plateau, with cliffs (H c. 25m) rising over it c. 25m to the S and a small basin just to the S.

The structure is marked on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and probably post-dates the other house sites. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 4.65m NW-SE: 3.6m NE-SW; Int. dims 3.35m NW-SE; 2.3m NE-SW) constructed with a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 0.6-0.7m; H 0.6-0.8m) with an entrance gap (Wth 0.6m) at the W end of the SW wall.

• LE011-131 Hut site
  Description

  Situated on S facing slope of rising land in upland region. Square hut site (int. dims 2.8m N-S; 1.6m E-W) defined by grass-covered wall-footings built into the E face of field wall (T 0.8m) running N-S forming a large D-shaped enclosure (LE011-117----) into which the house is incorporated. The hut site and field wall form what appears to be the remains of a booley hut with a livestock enclosure. The hut site (LE011-137----) is 240m to WNW. This hut site and enclosure appears to date from the 18th-19th century although the dating of these features is impossible without archaeological excavation.
