Full Description

A depopulated township comprising 9 ruined houses and some outbuildings.
Visited by OS (A S P) 25 April 1961.

Three unroofed buildings are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Island of Skye 1880, sheet vii). Seven unroofed buildings, an enclosure of five compartments and some field walls are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1968).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 2 October 1996

This area is not named on the OS 1st Edition map and it is possible that it was part of a larger 'Balmeanach' township. 'Sartle' or 'Sartil' is the name given to what appears to be a single farmstead within Balmeanach but subsequently 'Balmeanach' appears to have declined in use as a name and 'Sartle' now covers part of this area of former pre-clearance township [IS-L 29/08/2026].
