The House at #Kilbirnie Cross

This house stood at the cross, known as “the breast” presumably because it stood at the “breast of the brae”. The wall gives a clue to its exact location. The black monument at the front is maybe the same marker which now stands by Bridgend Community Centre, marking distances between towns.
