A post medieval settlement is situated on S side of Dunbeath Water, 1000m WSW of Achnaclyth. The foundations of two buildings are visible. One (at ND 0885 3357) is a longhouse about 30m E-W by 4.5m in size, subdivided into three rooms. There is a small annexe on its N wall. The turf and reed covered foundations survive to about 0.3m in height.
