Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 17 July 1997

The last phase of settlement at this location comprises of a ruined blackhouse, a circular garden enclosure and a byre and reflects a farmstaed. Current aerial imagary (lidar) also shows lazybeds in areas covered by heather to the northwest and in the field area to the southeast. The peninsula is enclosed by a substansial drystone dyke. The main grassy area lies over machair sand, other features are visible poking through the grass and it seems highly likely that there is earlier buried settlement evidence at this location.
