What may be a farmstead comprising two unroofed buildings is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1876, sheet cxxxv) and on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 19 August 1996

This site was visited in January 2011 by Ken and Jean Bowker of Moidart Local History Group. A brief report including photographs was submitted to the HER and is attached to this record. The buildings are described as follows:

"The main, more northerly building is approximately 10m by 4.5m and is aligned east / west, with rounded external corners and right-angled internal corners. It is well-built, but with no trace of internal walls. There is one door and two windows, in the south wall. The doorway has horizontal slots in it, perhaps for bars. The walls stand to roof height, about 1.66m high, along the south side and on both ends – but the north wall is largely tumbled and windows cannot be discerned.

About 25m to the south west (NM 6740 8388) is a second unroofed building aligned southwest / northeast, approximately 7m by 3.5m with rounded external corners and right-angled internal corners. This building is much more roughly built than its neighbour and has a door in the north end, but no signs of windows. It is thought that this building was probably a byre." <1>
