As recorded on 1st edition and modern maps. The township is located on exposed, rough, heather-covered ground on the opposite side of the Allt Udrigill from Achgarve crofting township. The structures survive as rubble footings. Buildings, some with attached enclosures, and a corn kiln were noted, while on the low ground north of the Allt Udrigle, rig cultivation is visible.
