The remains of the township and farmsteads at Leccabuy are evident on visualisations derived from Airborne Laser Scanning data. The remains closely reflect the distribution of buildings depicted on an estate map of 1847 (NRS, RHP571) which shows seven buildings (centred NM 74724 09760) annotated ‘South Leckabuy’, as well as a smaller cluster of two buildings and three huts (centred to the N at NM 74745 09849) annotated ‘Mid Leckabuy’.
An 18th century estate map (NRS, RHP975) indicates that the two farmsteads occupied the site of the township of Leckabuy, one of Luing’s long-standing settlements (Braithwaite 2021, 126-8).
