Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 3 November 1995
DBAs and walkover surveys were carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd in November 2002 and April 2003 in advance of a proposed wind farm development at Cambusmore Estate, near Bonar Bridge, Sutherland.
The NMRS (ref NH69NW 30) records a possible farmstead comprising an unroofed two compartment building in an area of cultivation depicted on the 1st Edition OS map. Field survey identified the remains of a single roomed building 10m long E-W by 5m wide N-S with an attached outbuilding or byre on its western end, 4.5m E-W by 3m wide N-S. The walls are preserved up to 1m high. Immediately to the north of the building is what appears to be a small garden plot defined by low turf and stone banks approximately 0.5m wide and up to 0.3m high. The remains are situated in an area of improved ground which is reverting to heather and sedge moorland. <1>
