Description

The monument is a pre-improvement farmstead situated in a field of improved pasture to the N of Pultadie farmhouse. It comprises a group of three rectangular buildings, each about 5m square, with a fourth building, measuring 6m by 5m, 40m to the NNW. The houses in the group are aligned roughly N-S, while that to the NNW is aligned NE-SW. The area to be scheduled includes the houses and an area around them within which traces of activity associated with their use may be found. It measures a maximum of 80m NNW-SSE by 40m transversely, bounded by, but excluding, the old drystone dyke to the SW, as marked in red on the attached map.

Statement of Scheduling

The monument is of national importance as a pre-improvement farmstead which has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of pre-improvement settlement and agriculture in the area. Its importance is increased because of the survival of other farmsteads of similar date in the area; this group has the potential to increase greatly our knowledge of pre-improvement land organisation.
