The extensive remains of Grummore, a depopulated clachan which was in existence in 1726 and is shown by Roy as a group of five buildings on the west side of the Grummore Burn, with arable on east. It was cleared, partly in 1814 and finally in 1819 when sixteen houses were burned. The remains consist of building foundations and walls, banks and enclosures. The buildings range from about 5m by 3m to 28m by 4m with walls varying in height from 0.1m to gable height. There are corn-drying kilns at NC 6062 3713, 6046 3662 and 6070 3678.
