Archaeology Notes

NG83NE 2 centred on 8725 3675

Area centred NG 8725 3675. The remains of twenty-eight buildings, with walls averaging 1.3m high. All buildings are un-roofed but one gable (NG 8720 3668) remains entire. There is a well-preserved kiln at NG 8717 3668.

Mr Duncan MacLean, grocer, Lochcarron, states that his father was born here and that the name of the place was 'Stromemeanach' (OS 6"map, Ross-shire, 1st ed., {1875}) , but he could not vouch for the spelling. This site appears to have been depopulated in the late 19th century.

A township comprising one roofed building, two partially roofed, twenty-one unroofed buildings, three unroofed structures and two enclosures is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire, 1880, sheet cx).
