Description

The monument is a pre-clearance farmstead situated on Fauldinchie. It consists of two groups of structures set within an old field of

improved pasture. The E group, just within the field, consists of two rectangular buildings set parallel to each other. The larger building measures 8m ENE-WSW by 5m overall. The other building, 2m to the NNW, measures 6.5m by 5m overall. To the ENE of both is a small enclosure linking the buildings to the old field wall. A second, larger

enclosure is attached to the first, to the SE of the larger building. Both fields contain rig-and-furrow cultivation. The second group of structures lie c 30m to the W. A rectangular building measuring 7.5m

by 7m overall is attached to a small oval enclosure, 12m long and 8m wide, containing two very prominant cultivation rigs. Attached to the

SE of the enclosure is a second rectangular building measuring 4.5m

by 3m overall. About 2m to the NW of the enclosure is a kiln, c 5m in diameter. The area to be scheduled includes the two groups of

structures and an area around them within which traces of activity associated with their use may be found. It measures 90m NNE-SSW by

75m transversely, bounded by the derelict field dyke on the SE, as marked in red on the attached map.
