Allt na h-Easgainn. R. Spencer-Jones and M. Marshall of Nosas conducted a field survey around the area of Lynmore and Foregin in 2018.

Building; This building sits at the N edge of an area of improved ground, between a post-and-wire fence to the SE and the Allt na h-Easgainn burn, 10m to the NW. It is rectangular, on a NE-SW alignment and measures 6m x 4m. The turf and stone footings are up to 0.3m high, those in the NE corner being best preserved at 0.5m height.
