A township, comprising eight unroofed buildings and one enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1875, sheet xxxii). Five unroofed buildings and one enclosure are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1982).

This township (also known as Tombreak) of 7 buildings, a corn drying kiln, an enclosure and two platforms which may be stack stands, is in an exposed position at an altitude of 400m. There appears to be 3 phases to the township – an older phase, a more recent phase and a single building, (building 1) which may be a shooting lodge and may be contemporary with the more recent phase.
