Description
The dung-pit walls at Crasken Farmhouse date from around the mid-19th century. They are constructed from granite rubble, with roughly-hewn granite jambstones and copings. The walls form a rectangular enclosure situated in the center of the former cowyard. The lower (west) end features a wide opening for cleaning out. The simple, low-coped rubbled walls are largely intact.
