Full Description
A township, comprising five unroofed buildings, one enclosure and a head-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1875, sheet xxxii) and on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1982).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 3 July 1996.
Site was visited by NOSAS in 2012 – 13 during a survey of part of the Corrybrough Estate. The township comprises four buildings, an enclosure and a substantial corn drying kiln this township straddles the remains of a wall (an “offshoot” of wall CB1). The wall footings are of stone and up to 0.4m height, many are overgrown with juniper bushes. The kiln bowl appears large; its extent could not be determined because of the dense growth of juniper. A hut circle lies to the SW. <1>
