It is presumed that the settlement of Barneleg recorded on the mid-17th century map by Bleau (and presumably taken from Pont's survey of the area of the 1590s) equates with the settlement marked in much the same area by Roy in the mid-18th century and named as Dureness. Roy records a large area of runrig around the township.

The settlement of Durinish is marked on the Blackadder estate map of 1807, and Duirinish is recorded on the 1st (surveyed in 1873-4) and 2nd edition (1902) OS maps. The latter has a large area of runrig detailed around the settlement.
