Muckraw, building 200m ESE of, is a historic structure in Linlithgowshire, protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland reference SM11224. The building stands on bedrock composed of Carboniferous to Permian igneous intrusion—specifically dolerite and tholeiitic basalt formed during the Permian period—which provides a solid geological foundation beneath the site.
The monument occupies a landscape shaped by Scotland's volcanic geology, where this hard igneous bedrock would have influenced settlement patterns and land use in the surrounding area. The dolerite and basalt formation creates naturally well-drained terrain, advantageous for early occupation and construction.
Protected status reflects the building's historical importance within Linlithgowshire's built heritage. The scheduling ensures that any future work affecting the monument will require consent from Historic Environment Scotland, preserving the structure for archaeological study and public benefit.
