A farmstead comprising three unroofed buildings and an area of cultivation is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879, sheet lxxxix). Four unroofed buildings and part of a ring-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1963).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 16 October 1995
On visiting the site on the 04/08/2011, the following description of the site was provided by Ken and Jean Bowker:
"It is impossible to relate the earlier description without using survey equipment. The site consists of one ruinous built wall and a wide scattering of loose rocks. It is not possible to discern any pattern, or more than two structures - any outlines can not be easily traced. Turf banks interconnect occasional exposed stones, presumably the remains of walls. A well-used animal path from the east runs westwards straight past the southern edge of the site, in so purposeful a manner that it may be an old access track. At the eastern edge of the site is a clapper bridge over a small north-south burn which runs into the Loth Burn. WNW of the site is a turf-walled enclosure, now very boggy, about 50m square." <1>
Four photographs of the site were submitted by Ken and Jean Bowker along with the above description of the site. <1>
