Full Description
An enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet liv). An enclosure and two unroofed buildings are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1964).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 9 October 1995
The features are visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 2009. One very small building, probably a shieling hut, lies off the southwest 'corner' of the enclosure while the second, also small, is attached to the southeast 'corner'. A dyke splits the enclosure in two. It does not appear to be a farmstead though. <1>
