A farmstead, comprising two unroofed buildings and one enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire {Island of Arran} 1869, sheet ccliv), but it is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1980).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 22 October 1998.
(NS 018 296 (centre)) Field survey was carried out in June 2003 over approximately 1km² of mature forestry above Dyemill, near the village of Lamlash, on the E coast of Arran. The following features of archaeological significance were identified:
NS 0140 2961 Township. Remains of a pair of large rectangular buildings and associated enclosure. The buildings are roughly parallel to one another, aligned NW-SE. The southernmost measures 14.9 x 6m externally, and is divided into two clear compartments. What appears to be a lean-to or small yard, 6 x 3.6m, has been added to the NW end of the building. The second building measures 17.2 x 3.9m externally, and is divided into three compartments.
Associated with the buildings are fragmentary enclosure dykes. The buildings are shown as unroofed on the 1st edition OS map.
Archive to be deposited in the NMRS.
