Full Description
A complex farmstead consisting of 2 groups of structures, each with its longhouse. The more southerly is apparently assiciated with a small rectangular structure, a number of enclosures and a head-dyke to W. The northern long-house is possibly more recent.
R J Mercer 1980.
A farmstead comprising four unroofed buildings, one of which is a long building, is depicted on 1st edition OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xxxviii). It is also shown on current edition of OS 1:10,000 map (1962).
