Archaeology Notes

A farmstead consisting of two juxtapositioned long-houses, one of which is cut by the later 19th century road, at the time of whose construction it was obviously much dilapidated. A series of small enclosures is associated with the long-houses.

R J Mercer 1979.

A farmstead comprising seven unroofed buildings, one of which is a long building, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xxxviii). Five unroofed buildings are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10,000 map (1962).
