Enclosures forming a possible farmstead adjacent to the River Oykel.
The various features are visible in vertical aerial photography and SEPA LiDAR data. A series of dyked enclosures stretch northwards along the west bank of the River Oykel from a point at NGR 234548 903728, with what appear to be the remains of a complex of buildings c.50m to the north at NGR 234531 903791. To the immediate north of the buildings are two areas of rig adjacent to the river. All of the features are enclosed by a dyke.
