The greater part of the original buildings of the township, as marked on the edition ordnance Survey map, are now ruinous and replaced by modern housing. The pipeline passes through and close to a number of these original buildings, particularly where it enters the village from the north and turns SE. As the pipeline leaves the village to the SE, a number of footings of buildings lie between the road and the shore. <1>
