(NG 180 544). Although Galtragill is a repopulated township, about 12 houses and enclosures of the old township still exist at the N end of the modern settlement. They are mainly Type III, but with a single Type II (for depopulation in Skye - see NG47NW 3). There is considerable lazy-bed cultivation in the area.
