Enclosure, vitreous slag heap, possible leat.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
Fragments of a structure which is shown on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867, sheet lxxviii) as a roofless enclosure. N to S mortared wall 8m long and a cross-wall visible. Just to the N of this is a pile of vitreous slag c.2m by 3m. This is being eroded by the stream. Possible leat behind but lost in the undergrowth. Iron objects in river adjacent to the walling, possible anvil measuring 0.2m by 0.2m by 0.2m and a mill wheel arch. The site sits in the V between the Crom Allt and the River Cononish.

Watching Brief (September 2008 - October 2008)
NN 3350 2950 A watching brief was carried out in September– October 2008 during groundworks for a raw water intake and new water pipe between Dalrigh and Tyndrum. This was at the southern end of the development and centred on the confluence between the rivers Cononish and Crom Allt. This part of the development lay in close proximity to an industrial metalworking site (NN32NW 4). No remains or finds relating
to this site, or any other of archaeological importance, were identified.
