Information from R.B. Gourlay, 1/2/86

Inchtomich - alternative name Inchtomach. R. Spencer-Jones and M. Marshall of Nosas conducted a field survey around the area of Lynmore and Foregin in 2018. Six buildings are situated on a series of three connected knolls, probably an eschar, lying to the west of marshland. Two of these buildings form an L shape and were identified on a 1986 aerial photograph (AP). An 1808 estate map gives the name Inchtomich to five buildings at this site, and the 1st Edition OS map has Inchtomach with 2 roofed buildings and two ruined buildings. Steeply sided scoops in the SW and W of this eschar probably represent quarries associated with the construction of the Highland Railway, 1896-8, which runs 35m to the south.

Building 1 is a long rectangular structure, orientated E-W, recessed into the N side of the eastern knoll. The structure is recessed into the hillside, with the E & W ends being faced with courses of stone. <1>
