The Ordnance Survey 1:10000 map, dated 1972, shows the remains of a farmstead within a coniferous plantation at Leitir Ard, to the north of Glenmullie. It lies close to a track which runs west of the Allt Mulliach. Two unroofed buildings are shown, along with the remains of an enclosure.
On the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map of 1872, the two buildings are shown linked by an offshoot from the trackway that remains in use today. The larger, more southerly house was then still roofed. A series of fields lay to the south, bordered on the east by the course of the Allt Mulliach, with the ruinous enclosure set within the most northerly of these.
