A township, comprising seven 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). Six unroofed buildings, one enclosure and a lime kiln are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1982).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 3 July 1996.
This township has 6 buildings, a corn drying kiln and barn and 2 enclosures. The majority of the buildings are on a N-S alignment and
have turf and stone footings to 0.5m height. The two largest buildings measure 24m x 3.5m internally and have two compartments; both have small outshots 2m x 2m internally in their east walls, a feature which seems to be quite common in buildings of this area. The other buildings are between 10 and 14m in length and 2 and 3m in width. <1>
