A crofting township comprising one unroofed, one partially roofed and eight roofed buildings and some fields is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879-81, sheet cxii). Some field walls are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH), 16 November 1995
This township lies largely outside an area surveyed by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25 no.15). Although four buildings and associated enclosures and fields were depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879, sheet cxii) within the survey area, they were obscured by dense gorse and not visited.
Visited by S Carter and J Wordsworth (Headland Archaeology) 5 February 1997.

NH 66 90 (centre) A short-notice forestry survey was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd over roughly 7.5sq km of land to the W of Spinningdale on the northern shore of the Dornoch Firth. A total of 28 features or groups of features of archaeological interest were recorded, 19 of which had previously been noted. The majority are post-medieval settlement sites (buildings, farmsteads and settlement sites) recorded first by the OS in 1874.
