Two previously unrecorded sites were identified. At NH 53187 11554, on the right bank of the Allt Laith-Bhaid, are the remains of a dry stone, rubble-built structure, 7m square, perhaps a shieling hut. Near the proposed site of the power house on the Allt Mor, at NH 50536 12589, are the scant remains of an enclosure measuring 12 x 9m.
