Full Description

"Situated on the southern shore of Loch Erisort, on the western side of the bay at Cromore, the fragmentary remains of this blackhouse measure 8 x 4 metres and are orientated from south-west to north-east. The remains stand no more than 0.25 metres above the current ground surface and appear to have been heavily robbed as little tumbled stone can be seen in the area. There are no internal features, partitions or entrances that might aid in the interpretation of the use of this structure." (Burgess 2004, 105)
