NH 4717 3638 A plane table survey and photographic recording was undertaken 28 April–1 May 2011 of the depopulated settlement of Coulachy. The work formed part of a community training project which aims to teach skills in recording heritage on the ground.
The site is recorded as a farmstead on the RCAHMS database and appears as four buildings with associated enclosures and dykes on the 1st Edition OS map. Recent woodland felling has exposed the remains of a more extensive settlement. This consisted of ten buildings representing two phases of construction, followed by adaptation of the buildings for use as sheep fanks and their subsequent abandonment by the mid-19th century. A corn kiln appears to have been built into the side of a substantial and possibly prehistoric cairn. The results of the work formed part of the exhibition Boblainy: Displaying a Hidden Landscape in Kiltarlity Village Hall in June 2011.
