Full Description

NG45NW 6 centred on 408 584

A crofting township comprising four roofed and five unroofed buildings, three enclosures, some field walls and what may be two phases of head-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Isle of Skye 1880, sheet xi). The township is defined on the E by Lon a' Bhaile Mheadhonaich which separates it from the township of Peinlich ("Peinlea" on the OS 1st edition 6-inch map).
Four roofed, one partially roofed and twenty-two unroofed buildings, their associated enclosures and field walls and two phases of head-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1968). To the W of Lon Raagil is a field-system (NG 406 583) and another smaller field-system lies to the N (NG 407 587) of the township.
