Two farmsteads, comprising one roofed and two unroofed buildings, are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xxix). They are shown as four unroofed buildings, two possible unroofed buildings and two roofed buildings on the current edition of the OS 1:10,560 (1963).
