Archaeology Notes

NS05NE 64 09637 56324

A farmstead, comprising one roofed, one unroofed building, one roofed structure and one enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire and Buteshire 1869, sheet ccxv). Three roofed buildings and one enclosure are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1980).

Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 15 October 1998.

This site is not that of a farmstead, and the unroofed building previously noted was a saw-pit according to the 1st edition of the 25-inch map (Argyllshire and Buteshire 1869, sheet CCXV.11). Today, the site comprises two inhabited buildings (one a one-and-a-half storey cottage, the other a modern house) and a tin shed. According to a local source (I. McArthur, Kilchattan) this was the former site of a joinery shop.
