The following sites were surveyed in 2002 (boathouses) and 2003 (fish traps) as part of a wider project to study the maritime landscape of the Sound of Mull.
Close to the boathouse (NM55SW 17) is a cottage, which has low walls with rounded corners and two windows. Four cruck slots survive, and a central wall incorporating a fireplace appears to be a later addition. A doorway on the W side has been blocked. Outside is a small walled enclosure, apparently never roofed. Within the rubble fill of its walls, objects were found of probable late 19th-century date.
Report lodged with Highland SMR.

Field Visit (1 May 2012)
NM 5478 5478 (boathouse) and NM 5479 5479 (cottage) A survey was undertaken on 1 May 2012 of the boat-landing facilities associated with Drimnin House. A natural creek, with the boathouse at its head, had been enhanced with a rubble-built quay. (The boathouse has been restored since our survey in 2002). This work formed part of a project examining the maritime landscape of North Argyll.
