This township is situated on the edge of the first terrace above the flood-plain on the SW side of the Lui Water and comprises six subrectangular buildings and a kiln. Four of the buildings and the kiln are closely grouped. Of the remainder, one lies 100m to the NW at NO 0572 9194 (MAR93 226) and the other 150m to the SW at NO 0594 9177 (MAR93 232). Four buildings now lie within a forestry plantation (MAR93 226-9).
The buildings are subrectangular with rounded corners and range from 7.1m to 10.1m in length by between 2.4m and 2.95m in breadth within faced-rubble walls 0.8m to 1.1m in thickness and up to 0.75m in height with, where visible, a single entrance in one side. Two of the buildings have outshots, of which one is an extension on one end and the other a wing attached to one side (MAR93 228 and 231 respectively). The kiln (MAR93 230), which is set into the slope of the ground on the edge of the river terrace to a depth of 1.1m, measures 2.1m from NNW to SSE by 1.7m within faced-rubble walls 1.55m in thickness with an opening for a flue on the NE. There are slight footings of what may have been a barn or loading bay on the terrace or SW side.
Roy (Roy 1747-55) identifies a settlement called Knockinted at this location which is called Cnoc na Teididh in gaelic (Watson and Allan 1984). The site is absent from Robertson's map (1822) and was probably cleared with the rest of the Glen in about 1776 (Watson and Allan 1990).
