What may be the remains of a farmstead are situated on a terrace below the top of a grass- and heather-grown hill above Ardanaiseig. It comprises a building, a hut and a patch of rig. The building (LORN96, 387) measures 5.8m from NW to SE by 2.8m transversely within a stone wall, which is now spread to a thickness of 1m and rises no more than 0.2m in height. A short distance to the NW there are the much reduced remains of what has probably been a subrectangular turf-walled hut (LORN96, 388), measuring 5m from NW to SE and by 4.2m transversely overall. The patch of narrow rig (LORN96, 389) lies on sloping ground to the NW of the hut. The farmstead is not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS map (Argyllshire 1875, sheet c).
