NG 380 273. On the west side of Glen Eynort at a height of about 250' OD is a depopulated township comprising about 8 houses with byres or outbuildings, two of which are still in use. A considerable amount of lazy-bed cultivation is evident in the area. (Township visible on RAF air photographs CPE/Scot/UK/274: 3173-4)
