A farmstead comprising two ranges of roofed buildings is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Elginshire, 1876, sheet xxxiii). Further roofed buildings are shown some 350m to the E, (NJ 0951 2654) and c.200m to the S. The farmstead is depicted as unroofed on the current (chart) edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1975).

Project (March 2007)
Detailed measured survey was undertaken in the Braes of Abernethy, Highland, by RCAHMS over the course of one week in March 2007. The archaeological and architectural monuments recorded were identified as worthy of further attention during a survey undertaken in 2006 (see Project Event 555817). The survey was designed to record a representative sample of the sites recorded in 2006, particularly those that were otherwise under-represented in then National Monuments Record of Scotland (now the National Record of the Historic Environment (NRHE)). The Pictish barrow cemetery at Pityoulish is situated outside the area of the original survey, but the opportunity to record it in detail for the first time was thought to be too good a chance to miss. Accordingly two parts of the site were recorded – the group of four ditched mounds at the NE end (Canmore ID 15389) and a solitary kerbed cairn 230m to the SW (Canmore ID 15413).

Measured Survey (7 March 2007)
RCAHMS surveyed the farmstead at Hill of Lethendry on 7 March 2007 with plane-table and self-reducing alidade at scales of 1:250 and 1:500. The plan was redrawn in vector graphics software at a scale of 1:1000.
