Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading open to the west with a long building on the west side of the court. To the east are two long buildings, one unroofed, a smaller rectangular building, and roughly rectangular pond with sluice. There is another pond and sluice to the southeast. By the time of the 2nd edition map much of the long building had been removed and a new T-plan house added west of the steading. A 19th century source records that there was a legal distillery at Tomnaven which was in operation between 1828 and the early 1840s and 'for some years a private school'.
