A farmstead, comprising one partially roofed building, one unroofed building and one enclosure, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879-81, cxi). It is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).

Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 22 November 1995.

This farmstead was visited during the course of a forestry survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25, no.1). The buildings have been levelled with steel hawsers and other metal debris partially buried in the remains. The enclosure dyke survives as a turf-and-stone bank.

NH 66 90 (centre) A short-notice forestry survey was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd over roughly 7.5 sq km of land to the W of Spinningdale on the northern shore of the Dornoch Firth. A total of 28 features or groups of features of archaeological interest were recorded, 19 of which had previously been noted. The majority are post-medieval settlement sites (buildings, farmsteads and settlement sites) recorded first by the OS in 1874.
