What may be an unroofed building and an enclosure are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Hebrides, North & South Uist etc. 1880, sheet xlv), but they are not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1972).
Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 6 November 1997

two roofless buildings at NGR 8390 5557. Both were rectangular and aligned northwest to southeast, measuring 8.5m x 4m and 5m apart. The more intact of the pair, that to the north, featured a concret platform along its northern side, measuring 8m x 3.5x. This building, a ruined cottage in use as late as the 20th century (as suggested by the concrete) had a single surviving gable surviving to 3m in height on the southeast wall, which also featured a fireplace. The northeast long wall included a door and a window, while a blocked window was evident in the southwest wall. The construction was largely of drystone gneiss, but patches of mortar and harling were apparent in places. The second building, to the south, survived to 0.5m in height and was subdivided into two unequal rooms, the larger measuring 6m x 4m and the smaller 2m by 4m. The surviving construction was entirely of drysotne gneiss, some roughly hewn.
