A group of fourteen buildings (NMRS MS 738/31, nos.16 and 19), spread out over an area measuring 150m by 50m mainly to the N of the pipe line feeding the Alcan Aluminimun smelter, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland Ltd). With the exception of two very small footings measuring 1m by 0.5m, the structures, which comprise concrete, stone and brick footings, range in size from 2.5m by 3m up to 10m by 15m. They may be related to the construction of the dam and aluminium smelter or have had a military function. A group of five structures, immediately N of the pipeline at NN 1929 6167 , are better preserved with stone and concrete walls surviving.
