Full Description
A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of Cuil, on the shore of Loch Linnhe, Lochaber, was carried out in 2010 by N Malcolm for RCAHMS' 'Scotland's Rural Past Project'. The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire and Buteshire 1875, sheet xliii) shows an unroofed house at the south-west end of an enclosure here. On the ground it is evident that there may well have been a second building at the north-east end of the enclosure. There is no visible sign of either house now but turf dykes enclose the area. <1> <2>
