This site was identified from the 1st edition OS 6-inch map in a walk over survey by Highland Archaeology Services in advance of a proposed development in 2010 and subsequent watching brief in 2011. It was not visited or recorded however, as was not likely to be affected by the development. It was suggested to be a a bothy rather than shieling hut. <1> <2>
