Full Description
The small farmstead of Achvidigo comprises a single large longhouse, with small attached enclosure. This building is described in the Name Book (Book 15,49) as small cottage, which - with the adjacent ruin - was 'the only remains of a farm steading which once stood there'. On the OS First edition it is the most southerly part of the building which is shown as roofed, while the enclosure is depicted as being under cultivation. By the time the Second edition was compiled, the entire complex appears to have gone out of use. <1>-<4>
