Field Visit (27 August 1997 - 27 August 1997)
The site comprises of a ruinous rectangular building, drystone walls, and a number of tracks.
A rectangular drystone building aligned E-W measures approximately 7m by 4m externally. The walls are 0.8m wide and 0.3m high. This building is shown as roofed on the first edition OS (1874), and unroofed on the second edition (1902). Drystone dykes 6m to the W of this may mark another building, floodwash, or revetting of a former burn course.
Two tracks are shown on the 1st ed OS map leading from the main road Swards. They join before the river Shiel and then divide again - one to ford the river, the other leading to a footbridge. Once across the river, outwith the NTS estate, the track leads to the abandoned settlement of Lub a'Bhodaich.
