Two unroofed buildings are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1881, sheet cxxviii), but they are not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 24 September 1998
Field Visit (July 1974)
To the S of the [NE] knoll there may be seen the remains of four subrectangular buildings (P), while a fifth (Q) lies a short distance to the NE. The buildings vary in size from about 12m by 6m to 5m by 3m over walls some 1.2m in thickness and all are noticeably round-cornered both internally and externally; some appear to have been dwellings. Although considerably better preserved than the structures on the summit these buildings are probably of contemporary or near-contemporary date [i.e. medieval].
