Full Description

The greater part of the modern croft land is on the drained low ground along the straightened Feith Rabhain. Older areas of cultivation extend up the hill slope south of the bay, and there are field clearance piles on the rocky high ground north of the old schoolhouse. There appear to be at least four clusters of dwellings, the main one now being north of the bay, the others at the southern edge of the cultivated lands.
