This building (the S of a group of two buildings)is shown as roofed in the first (1875) and second (1897) editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is also shown on Bedford's marine chart (1861). It is of rectangular outline with a small outshot at the seaward end from which the Greenfield headdyke continues to the sea at the eastern side of the base of Rudha Beag. The walls are reduced to footings. It lies across a track linking it to the building to the N. It was said that man who lived here walked daily to Ballachulish to work on the slate quarries there - a commute of nine miles each way. Perhaps he worked at the granite quarries at Kentallen only four miles away or the china clay quarry at Lagnaha a mere three miles away!
