A farmstead, comprising one roofed, one unroofed building and one enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire Island of Eigg 1880, sheet lxxiii). Two roofed buildings and one enclosure are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1976).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 9 December 1996.
NM 4830 8395 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the excavation of foundations for a proposed dance studio. The evaluation consisted of a desk-based search, followed by a physical evaluation of the site by trial trenching. The area assessed measured 14 meters N - S by 8 meters E - W. Although the development site lies within a landscape containing much extant evidence for activity in the prehistoric period, not a trace of archaeological features or artefacts were found on the excavated site.

Field Visit (6 July 2001)
The roofed cottage depicted here on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Eigg Inverness-shire 1880, Sheet lxxiii) is inhabited and an adjacent building (roofless in 1880) is currently used as a bothy. To the NE of the bothy are several small quarries.
