Roofed farm buildings - one shown on the 1st ed OS map along with 1 unroofed structure and an enclosure. But no settlement is recorded here on the c1800 map of the area. To the S of the aforementioned there are 3 unroofed structures noted on the 1st ed OS map.
The unroofed structures are hardly visible today. They consist of a slight structure aligned W-E some 45m S of the sheep-pens at Achnambeithach, measuring c6m by c3m over slight footings c0.1m high and c0.6m wide; and the remains of a possible byre aligned W-E c8m S of the present roofed buildings, measuring c12m by c6m over walls c0.1m high and c0.8m wide; and a possible longhouse c60m to the ENE, aligned W-E and measuring c18m by c5m over walls c0.4m wide and c0.1-0.2m high. This structure has an obvious division c11m Ewards from its W end.
