Full Description

NB46SE 27.02 centred on 4860 6148

A linear crofting township, comprising twenty-one roofed, two unroofed buildings annotated 'ruin' and twelve enclosures is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1853, sheet 3). This township would appear to have been completely abandoned and removed in favour of a new township just to the immediate S (see NB46SE 27.05). The current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1992) shows the area formerly occupied by the township as part of the crofting field-system.
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 20 June 1997.
