W Roy 1747; OS 6"map, Ross-shire, 2nd ed., (1881)

There are remains of 23 structures consisting of dry stone foundations nowhere higher than 1m. The majority appear to have been dwellings with the smaller ones probably outbuildings. One dwelling has an attached yard. There are the remains of old field walls in the vicinity of the settlement.
The name "Inverpolly" has been adopted by modern Lodge nearby and estate within which the site falls.
