A farmstead, which comprises two roofless buildings set against, and immediately above, a head-dyke, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1866, sheet cxxvii). The current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1980) depicts one roofless and one roofed building at this location.
Information from RCAHMS (PM) 16 August 1996.
There is a complex palimpsest of field-banks and cultivation on the southern flanks of Tormaukin. The field-banks form enclosures ranging from some relatively small examples, which may have been for stock, to larger fields taking in several hectares; amongst all these there is frequent evidence for sequences of construction. There are patches of rig scattered across the hillside and an extensive area of improved ground on the SW flank of the hill.
