A substantial turf-built dyke, possibly a head-dyke, running over the S-facing slope between the Allt Saigh and the Allt Ruighe Bhacain was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services (NMRS MS 961/25, no.3). The dyke has decayed to a spread 2m wide by up to 0.4m high.

NH 437 193 An archaeological watching brief, occasioned by a Woodland Grant Scheme application, was conducted on the construction of a new access track which would cut through a dyke associated with the remains of a small cluster of buildings and enclosures (NMRS NH41NW 16). No clear structure to the dyke was visible within the area removed by the machine, nor in the upstanding section.
