Full Description
A township comprising twenty-four roofed and two unroofed buildings is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet viii). The township is shown as comprising fifteen roofed and seven unroofed buildings on the current edition of the OS 10,560 map (1964).
Information from RCAHMS (FO) 9 August 1995.
Cut into the grass-slope behind the shingle-beach is a possible boat-noust, measuring 5 m long by 2 m. This is partly defined by outcrops at the east, and dry-stone revetment at the west. The floor slopes to the beach and is marshy and uneven which may suggest further internal features. This site is very overgrown and may still be in use as a stock-shelter. To be surveyed as part of the overall township. <1>
