NH 727 979. Situated on a gentle N-facing slope is the deserted township of Achtaduaig comprising the footings of at least 16 buildings including several long-houses, a number of small attendant enclosures, two corn-drying kilns, field walls and associated areas of cultivation. The buildings occur in two distinct groups, each with a corn-drying kiln. The township was probably abandoned in the early 19th century.
