NC 4248 6049, NC 4202 5987 and NC 4158 5866 A walkover survey was undertaken 12–19 August 2010 on three crofts at Laid in advance of a proposed woodland planting scheme. The sites lie to the S of Port Chamuill, a settlement dating to at least 1823 and Laid itself was created between 1832–35. The survey identified the substantial remains of farmsteads, enclosures and field systems, all apparently dating from the 19th century or later. Vegetation cover may have hidden other remains. Some buildings were in a reasonable state of preservation, and it has been recommended that these sites, and an area around them, be excluded from the proposed planting scheme
