Full Description

What may be a crofting township comprising one unroofed, two partially roofed and thirty-nine roofed buildings is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire 1880, sheet cxxiv). Four unroofed and twelve roofed buildings are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 8 May 1996

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.

Buildings: A group of six roofed buildings are marked on the 1 edition Ordnance survey map. The lower row appears to consist of two dwellings with associated gardens or yards to seaward, and three barns or byres. The visible remains of these buildings show them to be of the older style with rounded corners, but improved to accommodate fireplaces. The sixth building, on the roadside, is a later 19th Century croft house type, now not much more than one standing gable.
