A single unroofed long building of two compartments is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1877, sheet xlii), but it is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1964).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 23 November 1995.
A small farmstead comprising two attached rectangular buildings and an enclosure on a moderately sloping site above the river flood plain (Plate 5). The buildings survive as low rubble footings, the larger is 18 x 4 m and is upslope from the smaller which measures 12 x 3 m. The buildings are shown as roofless ruins on the OS 1st edition map surveyed in 1871 and the plotting of this structure in Figure 2 is based on OS mapping supplemented by field measurements. <1>
