A walkover survey of the area around Doire-chlaigionn was undertaken by Macinnes, A. and Doe, T. in 2013. This settlement is situated on an E facing slope leading down to Ob Mheallaidh on Upper Loch Torridon and to the NE of the village of Shieldaig. The ruins located are mostly shown as roofed on the 1st OS, but on the 2nd OS only features numbered 17,19,21,22, and 24 are shown as roofed. The settlement is enclosed within a head dyke, and there are numerous stone dykes and enclosures within this boundary. <1>
