Full Description

NB22SE 5 centred on 290 205

A township comprising eighty-six roofed buildings, eight partially roofed buildings, three of which are annotated as ruins, twenty-nine unroofed buildings, twenty-one of which are annotated as Ruins, and what may be two phases of head-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire, Island of Lewis 1854, sheet 37). The land within the head-dyke has been divided into plots by five or six N-S walls which may be the beginning of the lay-out of crofts.
This site is located within the modern crofting township of Balallan as shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973).
