Aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) has recorded the remains of a township and enclosures at the foot of a hillside 500m NE of Kincraig Farm. These structures are not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1874, sheets lxxiii) but are recorded as four unroofed buildings and a central enclosure on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1995). At least one further unroofed building, and a possible circular enclosure at NH 8311 0698, are visible on the air photographs. A series of farmsteads, buildings, field banks and an area of rig and furrow cultivation have been recorded immediately to the E and S (NH80NW 13 and NH80NW 43 ).

Field Visit (April 2013)
The remains of a township and enclosures, previously identified from aerial photography, were recorded during field survey in April 2013 as part of the Cairngorms Communities Heritage Partnership. They comprise the grass-grown footings of seven buildings and an enclosure to the S of a small burn at the foot of An Suidhe and some 500m NE of Kincraig Farm. To the N of the burn there are a further two buildings and two enclosures.
