House

Situated on a NW-facing slope of rising land in upland mountain pasture. This is one of a group of five house sites (LE010-076/077/078/081) in close proximity to each other that are probably part of an 18th century clustered upland settlement in the form of a clochan with associated outbuildings. Present remains consist of a poorly defined raised subrectangular platform with a slightly sunken interior (int. dims 4.2m NW-SE; 2.2m SW-NE) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 0.2m) which is orientated along the slope of the land on which it is situated. A gap (Wth 0.8m) in the middle of the SW side of the house may indicate a possible entrance feature with a second opposing entrance gap at NE. This house platform is only 5m W of a dry stone field wall which appears to be 19th century in date. Date of upload: 14 April, 2016
