A Long 1996 <1>

Modern township of Badnaban, surveyed by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in November 2009. Two small slipways are apparent at the small harbour and a ruinous stone dyke was observed between two plots running roughly SE-NW towards the river. A ruinous stone built structure was recorded at the top of the road to Badnaban, along with two weirs and the possible remains of a structure by the side of the river. <2>
