A possible hut-circle, a burnt mound and an enclosure are situated in a field of rough pasture at the foot of the rocky hillside to the NE of Remusaig.
What may be a hut-circle (NC 7385 0188) with a rectangular wing on the NW arc, measures 8.5m in diameter within a faced-rubble wall, 1m thick and up to 0.3m high. The wing on the NW extends downhill to a squared-off end, and measures 8.7m in length by 4.5m in breadth (ROG95 545).
The burnt mound (NC 7388 0195), which lies on the NE edge of a small pond, is C-shaped and measures 7.5m from NW to SE by 5.8m transversely and 0.5m in height with an opening on the SW (ROG95 546).
An enclosure (NC 7393 0187) lies a short distance SW of the drystone dyke that separates the hill-ground from the crofts. It measures about 25m from NE to SW by about 10m transversely and displays the faint traces of internal sub-divisions. (ROG95 545-6)
