Two structures were recorded during survey of Kilberry and Coulaghailtro farm by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division in 1999 (Survey site 10). Structure A measures 10m x 5m and Strucutre B measures 16m x 5.5m, divided internally into two compartments. Both are reduced to turf covered foundations. A small section of turf/earth dyke is associated with the structures, as is a possible enclosure (now a dump site).
