A field-system, which is depicted as two adjacent clearings in Ledmore Wood on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879-81, sheet cxi) was recorded during the course of a forestry survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25, no.21).
The clearings are defined by stone banks and clearance heaps. There is a single platform, measuring 8m by 6m, in the centre of the W field and a small enclosure at the E limit.

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.
