A ten day trip to Rum was undertaken in August to survey in detail a series of sites, including townships, shielings and deer-traps. The work was carried out mainly to provide information and illustrations for a planned publication, but the survey also provided the opportunity to revise and
enhance Canmore records.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 880470 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | This heather grown cairn stands on a knoll some 310m to the ENE of Guirdil bothy. It measures about 10m in diameter and 0.7m in height and has an arc of three possible kerbstones exposed on the E. At least two subrectangular huts overlie the cairn and have been built with stone robbed from it. [...] | 17 October 2010 |
| 1013543 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | To the N of the Abhainn Fiachanais there is a roughly-rectangular expanse of flat ground bounded on the NW and NE by the remains of a stone dyke which, together with the burn to the SE and the storm beach above the shore to the SW, defines a roughly-rectangular field amounting to about 0.8ha and containing traces of rig cultivation. At the NW edge of the field there are two small stone-walled huts built onto the dyke, one at NM 34305 94996, the other about 10m to the NE. A third hut and a small enclosure or stance stand to the W of the cultivated area. [...] | 13 October 2010 |
| 1013628 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | In a shallow gully formed between a storm beach (to the W) and craggy outcrops (to the E) there are at least eight huts and a small enclosure. Some of the huts are built from rounded pebbles, others appear to be of turf-and-stone, and at least one has walls constructed of angular blocks of stone. At least one hut stands on a mound that may represent the remains of an earlier structure. [...] | 13 October 2010 |
