Air photographs have been taken of the deserted settlements W of Dunachtonmore farm. Three distinct settlements have been recorded and appear to be more extensive than as surveyed on the OS 1:10,000 map. A large area of clearance cairns as well as field dykes, partially buried, and apparently bowed-ended structures are visible. (See Archive for details.)
