An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.
Farmstead. The remaining features of this farmstead are visible at the top of the field, appearing to consist of footings of three structures and a rectangular enclosure. It is assumed that this farmstead predates the existing pattern of fields. It is marked as one unroofed building on the 1' edition Ordnance Survey map. <1>
