Camas Ban, a small hamlet fringing the bay, its crescent of 'improved' stone and slate houses built in the 1880s and 1890s to replace a huddle of thatched cottages ranged along the shore which were ravaged by the high tides of 1881. Assistance came from the sporting tenant, Lord Burton, who had been moved by the sight of a cottar attempting to thatch one of these crude, saturated dwellings.
