Most of this settlement lies outwith the SSSI. The beach was almost certainly used for pulling up boats and may have been used for burning kelp. A large building (NM 6365 6101), either a store or a boat shed, was shown here in 1875. Another building was shown at NM 6377 6100 together with a small enclosure. This has been a desk assessment area.

A township comprising nine unroofed buildings, two of which are long buildings, one partially roofed long building, five roofed buildings, six enclosures, a sheepfold, a field-system and a head-dyke, of which the portion to the W may show two phases of construction, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1875, sheet xxvi). Eleven roofed buildings, several enclosures, a field-system and the head-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973).
