Full Description
This small post medieval settlement, situated on a low terrace of Dunbeath Water, consists of two long buildings, a kiln house with enclosure, rigs and a clearance cairn. One long house has an extra chamber on the long side, this may be a bed recess or dairy. The fireplace and chimney in the gable end of the building may suggest a late abandonment of the site. This settlement is not marked on Roy's map of 1747-52, but may be 'Clashraven' of a 1789 sasine.
Information from Historic Scotland, August 1992.
