There are two phases of settlement which are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1854, sheet 18).
The first phase comprises three main foci of pre-improvement townships (see NB23NW 76.01 - .03) and the second phase of two seperate crofting townships (see NB23NW 76.05, .06). Both crofting townships have been combined to form the present extensive crofting township of Breasclete since the 1st edition OS 6-inch map.
