A township, comprising four roofed, two unroofed buildings and one enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire and Buteshire 1873, sheet cxciii). Four unroofed buildings and five enclosures are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1981).

Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 7 June 1999.

NR 948 735 to NR 968 719 In October 2000 an assessment was undertaken of the potential impact of the proposed Tighnabruaich raw water main replacement route linking Craignafeoch Dam to the water treatment works at Tighnabruaich. The survey indicated that the impact as a whole would be minimal and that the only archaeology to be affected would be one stone-built field boundary possibly relating to the deserted settlement of Creag-an-fhithich. The township is situated some distance from the proposed line. (GUARD 948).
