In the field just south of Barmore farmhouse are the foundations of two rectangular buildings along with a knocking stone and a possible kiln and yard. These represent Barmore farm at some date prior to the construction of the present house in the mid 19th century. The farm is in record from 1440.

Information from Bute Natural History Society Deserted Settlement Survey (1991-9)
(RCAHMS WP000273)
The present house at Barmore, a two-storey cottage, is probably of early 19th century date and nothing is now visible of the five buildings depicted here on a mid 18th century estate map (Foulis 1758-9, RHP 14107/42). The knocking stone noted previously was found on the date of visit but the possible kiln was not. The grass-grown footings of a rectangular building, measuring 16m from NW to SE by 6m transversely over all, are situated immediately S of the house. It may have been a section of this building that is shown roofed on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire and Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCXV).
